I pretty much followed the recipe except for I did cook the beans before adding them with the bacon. Also I drained most of the bacon grease and just added a splash of olive oil to the finished product. Was very good. Also followed the tip about using kitchen shears on bacon made it super easy.

Excellent flavor!

My beans had cooked before the liquid had all evaporated (I probably didn't have a full pound) so I threw in a pinch of flour and also celery seed for good measure, made them Germanish. Also I didn't bother slicing or cutting the bacon, I cooked it whole, removed it from the pan, cooked the onion and garlic and then when I added the green beans simply crumbled the bacon in with my hand. So tasty and exactly what I wanted! Served with garlic mashed potatoes, grilled sausage and fresh sliced tomato.

We really enjoyed these beans. Like many others, I used beef broth. I like my greenbeans pretty done (not very crunchy), so I used more than the recommended quantity of liquid. I also added the bacon back in right at the end. These are awesome.

We thought this was great. As other reviewers suggested, I first steamed the beans for about 5 minutes. I also used chicken broth instead of water, and threw in some red pepper flakes. These were delicious!!!

I made this recipe as described except I steamed the beans for 5 minutes just to give them a head start. Me & my husband absolutely loved them but this is the first time I've made anything like this so I have nothing else to compare it to. I prefer my vegtables crisp so the recipe was ok for me, but if you like your vegtables mushy, you'll definiely have to cook them longer or use frozen beans. This dish is a bit labour intensive for me to be making too often, but I'll definitely be making this recipe again soon!

Great flavor!

These are pretty darn good but pretty close to how I've been making them for years. I cut up the bacon and fried it until crisp, removed the bacon, drained most of the grease and added the onion and garlic. Right before serving, I added the bacon - makes all the difference. Next time, I will fry the bacon whole, remove and crumble (probably easier).

Simple and tasty!

Rocks! my kids have contests to see who can eat the most.

I loved these green beans. They seem so comforting with all that bacon and onion. I used pre-cooked bacon and just browned it with the onions in a little bit of oil. I cooked mine for about 30 minutes to get to the texture that I like.

These were awesome! This was my first time actually making fresh green beans and I don't think I will make them any other way. They were gone within minutes of hitting the table! Thanks!

these were fantastic. a big hit in my family. they were delish!!!!!! followed the recipe to the T . perfect!!!

DEEELISH!! This is a great way to make fresh green beans..loved the flavors together. I added a little lemon pepper to the beans before adding to the pan:)

These were really good with my Easter dinner! I did make some slight changes: I only used 3 slices of bacon which provided just the right amount of flavor without being too greasy. I used chicken stock instead of water. Then, instead of black pepper I put about 2 pinches of crushed red pepper when I added the stock to provide just a bit of zip. Yummy!

Wow! I loved this recipe. My husband kept going back for more. I followed the recipe close. I added a little more bacon, more onion and garlic. It was a wonderful addition to our Easter dinner.
