Add the reserved green beans and the pecans and cook until heated through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Return the bacon to the pan, pour in the lemon juice and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

MOM'S GREEN BEANS AND BACON

Steps:

• Pre-heat a medium to large saucepan to medium high heat on the stove top. While pan is heating cut bacon into bite size pieces and seperate them.(it will stick together if cutting more than one slice at a time) Once pan is heated cook bacon until crispy. Remove from heat once crispy and put onto a plate with paper towel layed on top and cover with another paper towel (to collet the fat) Leave about a 1/4 cup of bacon grease in sauce pan. Open both cans of green beans. Drain one can completely of all water in the can. Drain second can leaving about half the water left over in can. Turn saucepan down to medium and then add both cans of green beans to pan. Let cook alone (stirring often) for just a minute or two. Add ketchup directly into the saucepan. Add brown sugar to sauce pan. Mix everything through and through and turn heat up to medium high to get mixture to boil. Stir often to keep it from burning. Once boiling add precooked bacon pieces back into sauce pan with green beans. Turn heat back down to medium and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Once done should have a semi-thick sauce.
