From: Kelly S.
Time: overnight marinate, 15 min prep, 3 hour cook
Makes: 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
1 lb bacon - fried, semi crispy
3-4 large cans of green beans, drained (not french cut)
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar (or a combination of the two)
1/8 - ¼ cup of reserved bacon grease
Directions:
Fry bacon. Cool bacon and crumble. Set aside. Drain all but about 1/8 - 1/4 C of the grease. Add vinegar and sugar to grease. Cook on a low, rolling boil until sugar is dissolved. Dump drained beans in a casserole dish. Pour hot bacon/vinegar/sugar mixture over beans. Stir to coat beans. Allow beans to soak in mixture overnight in fridge, stirring once or twice. Next day, bake beans at 250 degrees F for 2 ½ - 3 hours. Add crumbled bacon during last half hour of baking.
Notes:
I have let the beans marinate longer and I have let the beans cook longer. I have also not marinated at all and just cooked them with all the ingredients together in the dish for an hour. I have also used more vinegar and sugar according to how many cans of beans I use. Just play with different combinations. Its all good!
