    These were good and easy to make but I did cut back a lot on both the brown sugar and vinegar. Good side dish.

    These were so easy to make and tasted so good. I used 28 ounces of frozen green beans, added no water and used 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings. Turned on high for 3 hours and they were done. Thanks for posting Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders 2007

    Rather than using canned beans, I trimmed and steamed 1 1/2 lbs fresh beans before adding to the pot. I also used the bacon but not the bacon drippings; this turned out to be plenty for getting a nice bacony taste to this sweet and sour dish. For me, this was good enough to eat as a meal in itself, but I did have a rice pilaf on the side.
