Sweet-Sour Beans
Ingredients
- 16 ounces green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (4 cups), or one 16-ounce package frozen cut green beans
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions
1. If using fresh green beans, in a medium saucepan, cook beans and onion in a small amount of boiling salted water for 20 to 25 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender. Drain. (For frozen beans, cook beans and onion following package directions.)
2. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Crumble bacon; set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
3. Stir flour into bacon drippings. Stir in vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and bubbly; cook and stir for 1 minute more.
4. Pour vinegar mixture over warm beans. Add crumbled bacon. Toss to coat. Makes 4 to 6 side-dish servings.
