GREEN BEANS WITH SMOKED TURKEY BACON



Green Beans with Smoked Turkey Bacon image

I really like cooking with curry, and this is a wonderful slow cooker favorite of mine. Made with fresh green beans, turkey bacon and garbanzo beans, it has loads of flavor. Keep this recipe in mind especially for the summer when green beans are in abundance. It can be a main dish or a side dish. For vegetarians, eliminate the bacon. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

GREEN BEANS WITH SMOKEY BACON VINAIGRETTE



Green Beans with Smokey Bacon Vinaigrette image

Sweet bacon vinaigrette lovingly caressing green beans. Discovered this combination during Thanksgiving dinner when a bottle of bacon vinaigrette was dropped onto my plate. The result was delicious. I like to add a bit of Cheddar. Bacon, green beans, and Cheddar just goes really well together for me.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
½ pound smoked bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, sliced thin
⅓ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Make an ice bath by filling a large pot with ice and water; set aside.
