Scrumptious Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Cook bacon, remove to drain on paper towel lined plate.
• Add green beans and onions to hot bacon grease (careful it will spatter a bit).
• Let the beans cook until they start to become tender.
• Add mushroom slices, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, sugar, and balsamic to taste.
• Cook until mushrooms become tender. It's ok if the beans are shriveled and brown in spots.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large deep skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Remove bacon to paper towels, and reserve drippings in the skillet.
• Place fresh green beans in a large saucepan, and add enough water to cover the bottom by 1 inch. Cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain.
• Place the green beans into a 2 quart casserole dish. Spread the onions in a layer over the green beans. Place bacon strips in a layer over the onions. Sprinkle almonds over the top. Heat the reserved drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in vinegar and sugar, heating just until sugar is dissolved; drizzle over everything in the dish. Cover, and chill for at least one hour, but overnight is best.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake uncovered, for 45 minutes, until the onions are tender, and the almonds are toasted. Check after 30 minutes, and cover if necessary.

Steps:

• Saute mustard seeds and ginger in olive oil over moderate heat until seeds being to pop.
• Add beans, stir fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
• Add the water, cover tightly, simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove lid when most of the water has evaporated.
• Add remaining ingredients except lemon juice, and continue cooking until beans are slightly crispy.
• Add lemon juice just before serving. Serve warm.
