German Green Beans image

This is another simple but tasty dish that I found in one of my grandmother's old recipe files. My family loves it, and it makes a nice alternative for the traditional holiday green bean casserole. It's good all year long, but especially when the weather turns cool.

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices bacon
1/2 cup chopped onions or 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup vinegar (cider, if possible)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans green beans (reserve 1/2 cups liquid from canned beans or water if using fresh) or 2 1/2 lbs fresh green beans, washed and cut (reserve 1/2 cups liquid from canned beans or water if using fresh)
1/4 cup bacon bits (Bacos)

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet until crisp, then drain on paper towels, leaving the fat in the pan.
  • Add the onion and cook until light golden and tender, then add the flour and stir, cooking for about 1 minute.
  • Add the sugar, salt, pepper, bean liquid or water, and vinegar, stir, and bring to a rolling boil; Allow to boil for about 3 minutes to thicken the sauce. Add the bacon bits at this time.
  • Add the green beans and cook until heated through, about 7--8 minutes.
  • Transfer the beans and sauce to a serving bowl and top with crumbled bacon.
