Recipe Notes

My mom made this recipe when I was a kid, but used canned green beans and boiled the bacon and onion in the liquid the beans came in. I prefer my version and the crispness of fresh green beans, but I still have a smile on my face when I remember hers!

The Green Beans of Yesteryear!

This dish never fails to bring compliments from guests. Perhaps its the smokiness from the bacon, or the tangy sweetness of the onions that entice the palate, or perhaps its a trip down memory lane for us baby-boomers, who knows? I know that you'll enjoy this toothsome side dish as much as me!
