Can someone tell me if they will hold up for reheat the next day? If so, how do you do it?

Very good! I did drain the bacon fat all but about 2 T. left. I also blanched the green beans for 3 min in water that had come to a full bopil first, but skipped the ice water bath usually used after blanching. I took 4 lbs of this to an event for kids w/ cancer. All 4 lbs were gone ! I also like to serve parmasan cheese crisps with this (see Giada de Laurentis recipe for green beans for parm crisps...her green beans are great too

This recipe is delicious. I didn't have a dutch oven so I just used a larger skillet. It seemed to work well. My family prefers softer green beans so I blanched mine for at least 20 minutes before putting them into the pan with the rest of the ingredients (personal preference. The only thing I would adjust would be to cook the bacon a little longer so it was crispier...again a personal preference. Great recipe, everyone loved it.

This was the perfect recipe to accompany steak and potatoes. The use of a dutch oven was a nice touch, but I wish I would have removed some of the bacon fat because they came out very greasy. I did let the green beans cook longer then listed, but only because I prefer them less crisp. I will definitely make again!

Delicious, but very very bacony. I did make this with a dutch oven, but you could make this in a regular pot as well. I would not make them the day before. They are easy and quick to make on the day of, and these would get soggy made the day before. I followed the recipe as is, but I will remove some of the bacon fat next time around. These made my whole mouth feel greasy!

Theresa626, you can use any pot or pan that's large enough and has a lid. Before I got a Dutch oven, I used my covered deep chicken fryer to make these beans. Or, if necessary, cut the recipe in half and you can use a smaller pot. A 3 quart one should be large enough for half the recipe.

I brought these to Thanksgiving and they were a big hit. I added sauteed mushrooms, but otherwise followed the recipe. They came out perfect.

I prepared this for a family of vegetable haters and they gobbled it up. My boyfriend said its the only green beans he has ever enjoyed eating - and he also hates onions, but didn't mind them in this recipe.
