Grandma's Green Beans with Bacon Vinaigrette
Description
Steam fresh green beans and toss them with a sweet and tangy bacon vinaigrette just like grandma used to make!
Ingredients
•
4 slices bacon
•
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
•
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
•
1/2 cup brown sugar
•
1/4 cup white vinegar
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
•
ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
3
Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in the skillet. Saute onion in the bacon grease until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, and pepper. Stir well, scraping up any onion bits off the bottom of the skillet. Cook until bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.
4
Add green beans to the skillet with the sauce; toss to coat well. Chop cooked bacon and stir into the beans. Serve hot.
