Instructions
- Begin by placing the carrots in a large saucepan, ensuring they are fully covered with water.
- Bring the water to a boil, then cook the carrots uncovered for approximately 4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Stir in the beans, returning the mixture to a boil, and continue cooking for an additional 5 to 6 minutes or until both the beans and carrots are tender.
- Once cooked, drain the mixture and set aside.
- In a separate large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it reaches a crisp texture. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Utilize the remaining bacon drippings in the skillet to sauté the onions until they become tender.
- Incorporate the tart apples, cider vinegar, sugar, and salt into the skillet, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
- Cover the skillet and allow the mixture to cook for about 2 minutes or until the apples are tender.
- Finally, stir in the previously drained bean and carrot mixture, heating everything through before serving.
- To finish, crumble the crispy bacon over the top and enjoy your sweet-sour beans and carrots!
