Love, love, love this recipe! I have made it dozens of times and it always comes out perfectly. The vinegar and sugar are key - they make an amazing glaze! I would eat these every day, yum!

My sister and her husband made these one year and have been a STAPLE in our recipe book ever since. They are so so good! The bacon and onion with the sweet and tangy is amazing :. I did try one year to use the steam fresh green beans from the freezer and it just doesnt work. Make sure to use fresh green beans.

These beans are great! My husband can't stop raving about them. They are quick, easy and full of flavor. The bacon and onions really take plain old green beans to a new level.
