I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beans turned out mushy. I'll try again with a different recipe.

I thought the beans were a bit bland. I would add more seasoning next time.

Not a fan of green beans, but I actually enjoyed these. The bacon and vinegar really made a difference.

I've tried many green bean recipes, but this one is by far the best. The beans were perfectly cooked and the dressing was amazing.

These green beans were a hit at our dinner party! I loved the crispy bacon and the tangy vinegar dressing. Will definitely be making these again.
