This dish is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I always have a few leftover beans from other recipes and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a fan of bacon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The beans were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with the bacon.

This is my new favorite way to make green beans. The lemon flavor is so refreshing and the bacon adds a nice savory touch.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the bright color of the beans and the lemony flavor.

I'm not a big fan of lemon, so I used a little less lemon juice than the recipe called for. It was still plenty lemony for my taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have a few slices of bacon in the fridge and this is a great way to use them up.

I didn't have any shallots on hand, so I used a small onion instead. It worked just fine and the dish still tasted delicious.

I added a few extra cloves of garlic to the recipe and it turned out great. The garlic added a nice depth of flavor to the dish.

This lemony green and wax beans recipe is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The beans are crisp and tender, with a bright lemon flavor that perfectly complements the savory bacon and shallots.
