The green beans are on in the garden and these Bacon Green Beans with Caramelized Onions are my new favorite way to enjoy them.

Caramelized Onion and Bacon Green Beans

Green beans have always been my favorite vegetable and for many years were the ONLY vegetable I would eat.  I’ve grown up a little bit though but I still won’t eat peas!

Think you don’t like green beans?  Think again!  Combine them with bacon and caramelized onions and they are to die for!  Get yourself some fresh green beans from the grocery store, the farmer’s market or a neighbor who just might have a surplus (me, if you live in my neighborhood!) and give these a try.

The onions are caramelized in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, the flavor is amazing!  Be sure and save some of the onions to put in the  beans because you are just going to want to eat them right out of the pan. The same goes for the bacon – save some for the beans!

Do you not cook with fresh green beans because you don’t like snapping the ends off the beans?  Use a knife.  I just line them up on a cutting board and cut the ends off!

Be sure and follow me over on You Tube for weekly cooking demos.
