Ingredients:
– 2 (16 ounce) cans green beans, drained
– 2 cups water
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon pepper
– 4 ounces bacon, diced (raw) or 4 ounces ham (cooked)
– 4 ounces diced onions
Directions:
1. Drain the green beans using a colander and set them aside.
2. In a bowl, mix water, sugar, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
3. Preheat a cooking pan over Medium-High heat.
4. Raw Bacon Method:
– Dice the raw bacon into equal-sized pieces on a cutting board.
– Place the diced bacon in the preheated pan. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
– Once the bacon is cooked, add the onions and cook until tender and light brown.
5. Diced, Cooked Ham Method:
– Dice the cooked ham into equal-sized pieces on a cutting board.
– Place the diced ham and onions in the preheated pan.
– Stir the ham and onions until the ham is lightly brown and the onions are tender.
6. Add the liquid mixture and drained green beans to the pan once the onions are tender.
7. Stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until well combined.
8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Serve the green beans when ready.
Notes:
For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon or ham and use vegetable broth instead of water for added flavor.
