Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper strips
  • 1/2 cup thin onion wedges
  • 1/2 cup whole cashews

Directions

In a small bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce, honey, and butter.

Fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the lemon juice. Drop in the beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until beans are bright green. Drain the beans in a colander and then plunge them into the iced water. Drain again and set aside.

In a skillet, cook the bacon until very crispy, crumble and set aside. Saute the bell pepper and onion in the hot bacon fat for 2 minutes. Add the beans, cashews, and bacon to the skillet. Add the teriyaki-honey sauce and toss gently.

    Everyone LOVED these...

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These are great. A bit heavy (due to the bacon grease) but that is what gives so much flavor! I am shocked at those who say... they don't have flavor ... did they drain all the bacon grease out? Will make for special occasions or pitch-ins ... a bit heavy for weekly home use. Read more

    This is the perfect dish to take to a gathering. Not too difficult to make. Everyone raved - no leftovers. I am always... asked to bring them back.Read more

    green beans

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These green beans were so good!! I was really excited to make them. They've got a great flavor combo with all the... ingredients. I would add a bit of salt when in the skillet to add a bit more flavor and probably need to cut the beans in half. They're easier to eat that way. Thank you Paula!!Read more

    Not just fancy but pretty wonderful, too.....

    My family grew tired of green beans years ago and generally won't eat them in any form. I saw this recipe, needed a green... vegetable for Thanksgiving and thought I'd try green beans one more time. To my amazement the serving dish was empty at the end of the meal!! I had requests for MORE!!! My husband's backhanded praise was, "Those were great....they didn't taste like green beans!" Thank you Paula.Read more
