CHEATERS GREEN BEANS
This recipe for canned green beans tastes as close to fresh beans that have cooked all day, that you can get from a can. I use organic green beans which I think make this dish even better. I prefer fresh to canned any day. But when you are in a hurry and don't have hours to snap and cook beans this recipe is a great alternative

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, fry the bacon over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Then add the onions and cook until the bacon is cooked but not crisp and the onions are translucent, another couple of minutes. Do not drain the bacon grease because it gives the beans a good taste. Add the beans, peppers, tomatoes, garlic and 1 1/2 cups water, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Add some salt and pepper and the cilantro and remove from the heat.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans. Remove the stem ends and any tough strings from the sides of the beans.
- Blanch the green beans. This will help to preserve their color and crunch. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Cook the green beans. There are many ways to cook green beans, including boiling, steaming, sautéing, and roasting. The best method will depend on your personal preference and the other ingredients in your dish.
- Season the green beans. Green beans can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic, butter, and lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Green beans are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a more elaborate entrée, there is sure to be a green bean recipe that you will love. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful vegetable to add to your meal, reach for a handful of green beans.
