This recipe was wonderful! Just the right amount of sweet & tangy. Yumm! I love that it can be prepared ahead of time too.

I made these for Thanksgiving and used fresh green beans. Everyone loved it, I used roasted almond slices too, I think next time I'll try walnuts. I will most likely make these again, they were a nice alternative to the usual green bean casserole.

This was very good. I cut back the bacon to one slice per serving and used turkey bacon. It was plenty. I liked the tang of the vinegar with the bacon and sugar ..

My goodness - made this for Christmas dinner yesterday and EVERYONE loved them. Will make this one over and over. I didn't have the time to chill for the recommended amount of time and they still turned out great.

I've been using this recipe for family get-togethers for the past couple of years, and it's never failed to garner rave reviews! I prefer to use brown sugar, and for an interesting variation, try adding 1 tsp. of maple syrup. Excellent recipe!

I think this dish is awesome. You can always reduce the suger and vinegar to your liking but I recommend using the original amount first. I did cook the onions in the grease. My husband is not a "die hard" bacon lover like my family. However, he loved them. I made these 3 years for Thanksgiving and they were gobbled up. They were gone this turkey day as well.

I made this for a group and many of them said they liked it. I would not make it again though by my tastes. I wished I would have taken out half the grease, and decreased the amount of sugar. Too sweet.

My husband was blown away with this recipe...he said, "I can eat this anytime!" We both agreed with other reviewers that the bacon should be cut into smaller pieces, either before or after cooking. I think I would make another change and pour most of the marinade over the green beans/onions in the casserole dish then mix, then layer on the bacon and pour a remaining dab of marinade over the bacon. Most of my marinade ended up on only the bacon

I used frozen beans, and it was still very good, although I want to try it with fresh. I cut the bacon into smaller, bit-sized pieces, and then as other reviews suggested fried the onions in the bacon fat, which made them really delicious. The tang of the vinegar was great!

These are the mosty tasty green beans on the planet! I made a few modifications based on previous reviews. First, I cut the bacon into small-ish cubes. Then, I sauteed the onions in the bacon fat. I used fairly lean bacon, so there was not too much grease. I put the sauteed onions & bacon in the pan, and made the marinade separately as the instructions call for. Leaving the beans to marinate overnight is THE BEST way to get a really good flavor. Fantastic recipe!!!

Next time, I will not use so many onions and leave out the apple cider.

These were great! I also sauteed the onions since for me, the more cooked the better when it comes to onions, but otherwise followed the directions exactly. Although these green beans are probably not the healthiest, they are the tastiest. The recipe sounds a little odd, but you've got to try this! Yummy!

I served this with Christmas dinner. It tasted very good. I did have concerns, though, about using so much bacon grease. I don't think I'll serve this again since my conscience got the best of me for serving so much fat in a vegetable dish.

Huge hit at Thanksgiving dinner. I did saute the onions in the bacon drippings and substitute brown sugar for the white. The in-laws were impressed and asked for the recipe.

this was really good; I followed the directions exactly except I cooked the onion in the bacon grease. Also it marinated for 2 nights but still turned out delicious. Will make again, thanks.
