Shared with me by: Diane VH (friend)

A sweet touch

Ingredients

  • 6 center-cut bacon pieces
  • 1-1/2 pounds fresh green beans
  • 3 t. brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. water

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp-tender (about 5 minutes). Place cooked bacon on paper towel, dry off grease and break up into small pieces.

Drain grease from pan and add brown sugar and water; stir to dissolve and bring to a boil.

Add beans and stir gently. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender.

Remove to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.

Stir in bacon, season with salt, pepper and little butter before serving.
