However, of course this recipe can be served as a side to just about any meal. Think Christmas and Thanksgiving type gatherings. Who would not want a scoop of this?
Everything you see here is fried together in one pan making it a breeze to prepare. It doesn’t get any easier, tastier than this.
Sometimes, I like to bake some fish sticks in the oven as they go along pretty well with these beans and bacon.
Absolutely delicious!
You have three options when it comes to cooking these beans, you can bake them, fry them or steam them. I fried mine for this recipe, as I like to use the bacon pan to help the beans pick up even more flavor.
If you are on a diet steaming them would be best.
