Green Beans With Stewed Tomatoes & Bacon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 (15 ounce) cans French style green beans, well drained
4 slices bacon
2 (14 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1 onion, chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 dash fresh ground pepper

Preparation

Cut bacon into small pieces. Saute bacon in skillet until crisp; remove bacon and place on paper towels. Leave 1 T. bacon fat in saute pan.
Chop onion and saute over low heat in reserved 1 T. bacon fat. Salt the onion (brings out the moisture) and cook about 5-8 minutes until onion is soft and translucent.
Place tomatoes and their juices in a large pot - break up large pieces of tomato. Add drained green beans and sauteed onions. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Add crumbled bacon and fresh ground pepper; stir and serve.
Hint - if you don't have Stewed Tomatoes, you can use Petite Diced Tomatoes, Italian Style, and add 1-2 t. sugar.
