2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 6 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
3 pounds fresh green beans

Old School Green Beans! YUMMMM
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'd been trying to make the green beans from my childhood, but could never replicate the taste. This recipe is good is it!... Can remember if the recipe called for garlic, but I did add some.Read more

Very tasty with a few modifications
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

OK, I think Food Network overgeneralized the prep in this, as well as a few ingredients (and lacking certain amounts).... *First, you should cook the bacon with the olive oil...don't add the onions (or garlic from the jar...which I thought was an AWESOME addition). This way the bacon actually cooks and greases instead of just boils with the stock. More flavor that way. *Second, use LOTS of pepper and use garlic salt instead. Again, more flavor. *Third, I added some liquid smoke (about four tablespoons) and a couple shots of Worcestershire sauce. *Fourth, I used beef broth instead of chicken broth or stock, and less of it. Like, half a quart. *Finally, I added some mushrooms in there to help sop up the stock (which makes the mushrooms tastier). Read more

Not what I expected
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I wanted to make something other than the traditional green bean casserole. I decided on this recipe because with bacon and... onions how can you go wrong and it seemed quick and easy to make. It was not as flavorful as I thought it to be. I will not be making this again.Read more
