Bavarian Green Beans
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 bacon strips, diced
1 medium onion, quartered and sliced
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Procedures:
Place beans in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. In the same skillet, saute onion in drippings until tender.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, mustard and water until smooth. Stir into onion. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in brown sugar and vinegar. Add the beans; heat thought. Sprinkle with bacon.
