Steps:

• Leave green beans whole or cut into 1-inch pieces.
• In a large saucepan cook the beans in a small amount of boiling salted water about 10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
• Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally.
• Remove bacon, reserving drippings in skillet.
• Drain bacon on paper towels; set aside.
• Cook and stir onion and mushrooms in reserved drippings over medium heat until tender.
• Add tomato and salt.
• Cook, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Transfer beans to a serving platter or bowl.
• Top with onion mixture.
• Sprinkle bacon over the vegetables.
• *Note: Omit salt if using canned tomatoes.
