SWEET & SOUR BACON GREEN BEANS
I don't recall where this recipe came from, but I've had it for many years. Great taste. I usually manage to have it half gone before it's time to serve. The beans can be left whole (for effect) or cut - it's your choice. Note that the marinating time is very important, and is included in the cooking time.

[email protected]This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bacon. The green beans and sauce are also very flavorful. I like to add a little bit of chopped red onion for extra crunch and flavor. It's a great dish to serve at a potluck or party.
