This is one my favorite green bean side dishes. It has been in my family for a very long time. It goes great with pot roast and potatoes. It's almost like a green bean relish. Not your ordinary green bean dish! Even better left over. I've also added rinsed and drained water chestnuts for some crunch.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 6 slices bacon

  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings

  • ½ sweet onion, chopped

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup cider vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish

  • 1 (2 ounce) jar chopped pimento peppers

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans French-cut green beans, drained

Directions

  1. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in the skillet. Crumble bacon.

  2. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

  3. Cook and stir the onion in the reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. Combine cooked onion, sugar, cider vinegar, relish, pimento peppers, and green beans in a large bowl.

  5. Transfer mixture to a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove foil and stir lightly.

  7. Allow green beans to rest for 15 minutes before topping with crumbled bacon and serving.
