Savory String Beans
I have not tried this, but it sounds great! I plan to fix it tomorrow, will report on it then.
4 bacon strips
2 cups fresh or frozen cut green beans (1-1/2 inch pieces)
1 cup water
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dill seed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; crumble and set aside. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Add beans, water, onion and seasonings to drippings; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until beans are tender. Discard bay leaf. Stir in bacon.
