Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. green beans, trimmed
  • A drizzle of olive oil
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cider or red wine vinegar

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, bring a couple of inches of water to a boil. Cook the green beans in the boiling water until al dente, about 3 to 5 minutes, then drain. In the same skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the bacon and pepper and cook until the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes, then drain off all but 2 tbsp. or so of the fat. Toss the beans in the fat with the bacon and season with the vinegar and sugar.
