Ingredients
  

For the Veggies
  • 8 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
For the Bacon Mixture
  • 4 strips bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Place green beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until beans are crisp-tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain the beans.
