Ingredients:
Serves 4
4 slices of bacon
1 medium onion chopped
2 lbs. fresh green beans snapped
8 new potatoes cut in half
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Cut bacon into thirds and cook in a large sauce pan over medium heat for five minutes. Add onion to the sauce pan with the bacon; saute’ until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and potatoes to the sauce pan with just enough water to cover.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add salt and pepper and cover. Simmer about 1 hour or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary to keep the beans covered.
• You may use pork or turkey bacon. If you use turkey bacon you may need to add a little of your favorite cooking oil.
