This recipe combines two of my favorite foods - bacon and green beans! Don't omit the red pepper and/or cider vinegar as both are healthy and good for diabetics.
1/2 lb hickory smoked bacon, diced
1 medium-size yellow onion, chopped
3 lb fresh green beans, washed thoroughly and trimmed (break if desired)
1 tsp dried crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
water
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
In a Dutch oven or other large pan, over medium heat, cook the bacon about 10 minutes until browned and crisp. Add the onion to the skillet and saute a few minutes until tender.
Add the green beans, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt; stir to combine well. Add enough water to just cover the beans. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer approximately 45 minutes or until the beans are tender (not crisp tender).
Drain the beans (save liquid & refrigerate - use later as vegetable broth) and transfer to serving bowl. Toss beans with the butter and vinegar.
