These are awesome. I tried these one night at dinner with 6 people, and all agreed that they could eat these beans as the whole meal and forget everything else. I used pepper bacon which added a little more pizzazz.

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs green beans, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
8 slices bacon, thinly sliced crosswise
3 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup shallot, finely chopped (about 4 large)

Directions

1
Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Drain well. Pat dry with paper towels. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Wrap in paper towels; enclose in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate.)
2
Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Discard all but 3 tablespoons bacon fat in skillet. Add butter to skillet and melt over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender and golden, about 4 minutes. Add beans and sauté until heated through, about 6 minutes. Add bacon to skillet and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.

Wonderful green beans, in fact, I ate two helpings!!! I made them as written with two exceptions, used canned green beans and onions instead of shallots, as is what I had on hand. Great way to really add some flavor to plain old green beans. Thanks for posting another great recipe Lazyme. Made in honor of your win in the football pool.

DBF thought these were good and he especially loved the shallots with the milder flavor they added. Was a nice way to do fresh green beans. I halved the recipe and it worked out fine for us, I also used a cast iron skillet. Thanks lazyme!

These were a very tasty, quick and easy way to dress up green beans. I halved the recipe and used frozen green beans. In an effort to make this slightly healthier, I also poured off all the bacon fat and just used what reamained in the bottom of the skillet to saute the shallot (no butter added). Oh yeah, for me 1 lg shallot = 1/3 cup. Thanks for posting!
