Best green bean recipe I've tried so far. The bacon flavor is perfect. My wife loved them.

I used fresh green beans and this was DELICIOUS....not for one watching their fat and oil intake but otherwise fabulous!

Especially easy given I started with green beans I had brought home from a restaurant the night before because they couldn’t cook them beyond crunchy (I HATE that). I just diced up the bacon and cooked it before adding the almonds briefly - no reason to cook it, then remove it. I tossed in a little garlic, then the (only partially cooked) beans and cooked them until they no longer snapped and crunched when I bit into them. While this isn’t a particularly inspired or creative recipe, it’s still a good one that makes green beans (especially those in a doggie bag) a little more special.

So so good. Even my picky kid ate them. Not sure I could ever go back to plain green beans.

We loved this dish. At nine minutes though the green beans were still too crisp for our tastes although my Mom would have loved them as they were tender crisp so I will cook them a couple minutes longer the next time. I used precooked bacon and simply snipped it up and then started the cooking process. This is a great side dish adn we really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Pretty darn good... hard to go wrong with bacon! I used fresh green beans, and I wish I'd blanched them first. They didn't soak up much flavor. However, I saved it by tossing in diced eggplant - THAT really soaked up the flavor! I put the almonds (I used whole instead of slivered) in with the bacon when it was almost done, and pulled them out at the same time as the bacon - they were a little burnt-tasting, so next time I might cook them separately after the bacon's done.

Excellent recipe. I've tried it with bacon and with panchetta, and I have to say that it's significantly better with panchetta. But it's an absolute keeper, and perfect for company dinners!

This was awesome:) I did make some changes, no biggies just (1) I left out the almonds because I didn't have any (2) I used turkey bacon because that's what we had (3) I used fresh green beans from my dad's garden and (4) I added a chopped onion and some minced garlic. Very yummy! Even the pickiest eater in my house ate every bit:)
