Green Beans with Bacon

Cooking with bacon and bacon grease is very southern. I grew up with A LOT of bacon grease in my food. I have nearly cut it all out, however, using bacon in green beans is just so well worth it.

NEED:
1 slice of bacon, diced **it is much easier to dice if you partial freeze it**
1 can green beans
1/2 tablespoon of sugar
3 tablespoons of diced onion
1/2 cup water
pepper to taste

In sauce pan, add bacon and cook over medium heat until browned. DO NOT DRAIN Stir occasionally.
Add diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add beans, water and pepper and cook over low / medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
The bacon is salty so you do not need to add more salt.

ENJOY!
