Green Beans With Bacon and Shallots image

These are awesome. I tried these one night at dinner with 6 people, and all agreed that they could eat these beans as the whole meal and forget everything else. I used pepper bacon which added a little more pizzazz.

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own variations. I like to add a little bit of garlic and red pepper flakes for some extra flavor.

I've made this recipe with both fresh and frozen green beans and it's always turned out great. I prefer using fresh green beans when they're in season, but frozen green beans are a great option when fresh ones aren't available.
