Special Green Bean Bake

This is one my favorite green bean side dishes. It has been in my family for a very long time. It goes great with pot roast and potatoes. It’s almost like a green bean relish. Not your ordinary green bean dish! Even better left over. I’ve also added rinsed and drained water chestnuts for some crunch.

Step: 1

Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in the skillet. Crumble bacon.

Step: 2

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

Step: 3

Cook and stir the onion in the reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step: 4

Combine cooked onion, sugar, cider vinegar, relish, pimento peppers, and green beans in a large bowl.

Step: 5

Transfer mixture to a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

Step: 6

Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove foil and stir lightly.

Step: 7

Allow green beans to rest for 15 minutes before topping with crumbled bacon and serving.

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
