Green Beans with Blue Cheese image

My sister-in-law gave me this great, simple recipe. Green beans are sauteed in bacon fat, then tossed with toasted nuts and crumbled blue cheese. Very rich and quite fattening, but great for holidays!

I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. It's a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I usually add a little bit of garlic and red pepper flakes to the sauce for a bit of extra flavor.

This recipe was a disaster! The beans were overcooked and mushy, and the blue cheese sauce was too thick and clumpy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning. I would also recommend using a stronger blue cheese. Overall, it's a good recipe, but it needs a few tweaks.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The blue cheese flavor was not overpowering, and it actually complemented the beans very well. I would definitely make this dish again.
