We really like these green beans at TRH and after a little searching found this recipe. Recipe is courtesy of WTVR, Richmond, VA. When a friend of mine started working there, I asked if this is how they prepare their green beans and she shook her head yes, but said no with a smile. I have included both variations for this recipe; choose the one to your liking. Cook/simmer time is approximate.

Provided by mzander

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 (16-ounce) cans Del Monte green beans, drained
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped or minced garlic
4 ounces bacon, diced (raw) or 4 ounces ham (cooked)
1/2 medium onion, diced

Steps:

Drain green beans and set aside. Broth Mixture: Mix broth, butter, sugar, peppers and salt until well incorporated. Set aside. Preheat a deep pan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon pieces down till they are brick red, add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, add some chopped garlic then add the broth mixture, let the broth simmer for 20 minutes then add the green beans to the broth mixture. Stir to incorporate. Bring mixture to a boil and then turn off heat. You do not boil or simmer the green beans for long, just enough to heat through, this is important so that you don't overcook them. TIP: They are best made a day in advance to absorb the broth.

Tips:

Use fresh green beans for the best flavor and texture.
Trim the green beans by snapping off the ends.
To blanch the green 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. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
To make the bacon, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
To make the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl.
To assemble the salad, combine the green beans, bacon, onion, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.

Conclusion:

This is a simple but delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh green beans, crispy bacon, red onion, and tomatoes. The dressing is a simple vinaigrette made with vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and olive oil. The salad is tossed together and served immediately.
