I added the bacon back in at the end and I added french onion soup mix to the boiling water, too. Really added to it.

What doesn’t bacon make taste better? The good news is that just a small amount of bacon adds a lot of flavor without breaking the nutritional bank. I cooked the onion and bacon, omitting the red pepper flakes, ahead and then steamed the beans right before I was ready to serve them. I served them with a marinated roasted pork tenderloin, corn risotto, and Spectacular Marsala Glazed Carrots with Hazelnuts from this site. It was a perfect meal.

Super easy and turns out good every time. Depending on quantity, sometimes i have to let them cook a little longer after adding the water, but i just "taste test" a bean here and there to see when they are tender. Workes well with haricort vert also instead of regular beans. All Yummy!

Excellant! I did leave out the butter to make it a bit healthier. One note I will say, if you use frozen "fresh" beans (like those you've frozen out the garden) you do not need nearly the boiling water. I ended up with very watery beans, scooping some out for dinner, and leaving the rest in the pan while the water reduced. This made the beans get a bit grayer than I'm sure they're supposed to be. But very, very yummy! I will be making these for our family Christmas.

These were delicious with a nice kick from the red pepper flakes. To be healthier, use olive oil in place of the bacon.

Great alternative to the traditional green bean casserole. My family loved it :-) I would definitely recommend using fresh green beans, and make sure not to overcook them..... really good and easy recipe, thanks!

I really liked this recipe. I usually don't care for green beans but I thought I'd try some fresh home made. I followed the recipe for 2 to a tee. The reason I am only giving it 4 stars is because it was too spicy for me. Next time I will omit the spice. Thanks for the easy recipe!

I want to give this 5 stars, but between the bacon grease and the butter, I cannot, lol, as delicious as it was, I would definitely only make once in awhile! I had 2 helpings!
