Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Green Beans: Begin by cooking the green beans. If using fresh green beans, steam them for about 15-18 minutes until tender. Alternatively, follow the package directions for frozen green beans, or heat canned green beans. |
| 2 | Saute Onion: While the green beans are cooking, sautรฉ the onion in the rendered bacon fat or in butter/margarine until tender and starting to turn brown, adding a rich flavor to the dish. |
| 3 | Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a bowl, mix together cornstarch, salt, dry mustard, brown sugar, and vinegar with 1/2 cup of the water from the cooked green beans. This creates a flavorful seasoning mixture that will elevate the taste of the dish. |
| 4 | Thicken Sauce: Add the seasoning mixture to the sautรฉed onions in the pan. Cook and stir until the mixture slightly thickens, creating a delicious sauce that coats the green beans perfectly. |
| 5 | Combine Green Beans and Sauce: Once the sauce has thickened, drain the cooked green beans and add them to the pan with the thickened onions. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Stir well to ensure the green beans are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce. |
| 6 | Finish and Serve: Top the seasoned green beans with crumbled bacon for an added burst of flavor and texture. Serve hot as a delightful side dish alongside your favorite main course. Enjoy the savory goodness! |
