Friday's Recipe (Sweet & Sour Green Beans)

I told you all that I would share my Sweet and Sour Green Bean recipe with you and today is the day. My Grandpa Zip LOVES this dish. It is a play on German Potato Salad but with green beans, my grandpa loves his German food so it was a given he would love this. 

SWEET & SOUR GREEN BEANS

What you need:

No picture of this dish again... But
though I would share this funny
pic of Carter and 2 of his crazy uncles.

2 cans of green beans (drained)

4 bacon slices (fried and chopped)

1 med onion (chopped)

1 tbsp of all purpose flour

1/4 c. apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

dash or two of pepper

1/4 c. water

To Prepare:

• Fry the bacon in a skillet over high heat, flipping occasionally until crispy. Place fried bacon on a plate and set to the side. 
• Add onion to bacon grease and cook until translucent. 
• Add flour to onion and stir.
• Pour vinegar and water into the pan.
• Add the salt, sugar, pepper and stir. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and add the green beans.
• Crumble the bacon and add it to the mix and stir. Cook until the green beans are heated.

This serves about 6 people.

I found this recipe in the Vasquez Family Cookbook years ago and made it for my dad and brothers for supper one night, they loved it and I was pretty proud of that. Years later when I moved out of my parents house and had to start taking dishes to family gatherings this was the first dish I took. My grandpa loved it so much that he requested it for every Easter. Since then my mom's family had made a menu and assigns everyone's dish. I haven't got green beans in a while but if I ever do I will be bringing this.

ENJOY!
