Sweet and Sour Green Beans (with bacon and onion)

1 16oz. bag frozen cut green beans, thawed
4 slices bacon cut into 1" pieces (reserve drippings)
4 green onions, chopped
4 T. bacon fat
2 T. sugar
3 T. cider vinegar
salt and freshly ground pepper

In a medium skillet, add diced bacon and fry until crisp.  Remove from pan and drain on a plate with paper towel (to absorb some grease).  Reserve drippings.

Bring 2qt. water to a boil and place green beans in pan and cook until beans are fork tender.  Remove from water and allow to drain.

Slice green onions and add to bacon drippings.  Sauté for 3-4 minutes.  Add vinegar and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.

Add drained beans to skillet and stir to coat and warm through.  Add crisp bacon before serving.  Taste before adding salt, as some bacon can be salty.

Makes six servings.  Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. 

Fresh beans can be substitutes for frozen or canned.  Also try a mixture of green and yellow wax.
