I could eat this all day, but definitely use fresh, steamed green beans and red wine vinegar.

My husband really liked these, but I made them into a "cold" dish. I used fresh green beans, "garlic red wine vinegar" and also added minced garlic. I also used already cooked bacon to eliminate some fat and then steamed everything together in my microwave, let it cool & served. Nice easy side, thanks Casey.

This is a simple recipe for excellant beans. I used beans from my garden and cut up the bacon into small pieces before frying it. It was a hit with my company that I had for dinner. Will definately make again! Thanks for sharing.

I was looking for something a little different and this recipe fit the bill. Excellent way to use up some green and yellow beans from my garden. I steamed them first then proceeded with the rest of the recipe. I added a little minced garic with the onions and also used red wine vinegar. Sprinkled sliced almonds on top before serving. Husband and I both loved this dish and will make again soon. Thanks!

Our family loved this recipe--used one lb. package of Trader Joe's frozen haricot verts, steamed. Cut up six slices of pre-cooked bacon and sauteed with one chopped onion in a little olive oil then added red wine vinegar, kosher salt, freshly ground pepper and the beans. Very little effort for a new and delicious taste.

Yum! I agree with other reviewers - halve the bacon and it's good, otherwise too greasy. I also used red wine vinegar - nice taste.

My husband grew up eating a recipe called "Sour Beans," but no one seems to know how to make it anymore. I have searched and searched for a way to replicate it and I found it here! I usually use fresh or frozen green beans and have great luck. I made it for Easter and now MY family wants the recipe. It is definitely a keeper!

The best green bean recipe ever! I use Louis Rich Turkey Bacon cooked in the microwave and saute my onions in olive oil to cut down on the fat content. Even my 1 year old granddaughter loves them!

Excellent! The only thing I did differently was to add some slivered almonds to the mix. I also used fresh beans out of our garden. I'm making it again tonight and skipping the bacon. Although it was good I don't think the beans needed them. I'm going to saute the onions in a little margarine and use seasoned salt for flavoring. I'll still add in the almonds because the extra crunch is great. Such a nice alternative to boring boiled beans.
