I tried something new for this year's Thanksgiving feast and it was a big hit, so I thought I'd share with you. I think these would be great for any meal, any time of the year. They are SO easy in the crock pot...but the flavor is amazing.
BACON BEANS
Amounts approximate for 3 qt yield
2 lbs of fresh green beans, washed & trimmed
1 lb bacon, cooked & patted dry. (I used pork for my DH, but I think Turkey bacon or even veg protein bacon (not-bacon) would be lovely.)
1/2-1 tsp chopped garlic
1/2 small onion, chopped (optional)
1/4 c chicken or veg broth
splash lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
Crumble cooked bacon. Put everything but the lemon juice in a 4 qt crock pot. Stir to combine. Set crock on HIGH and walk away for 2 hours. Stir & check tenderness at 2 hour mark. If you like tender-crisp they should be done, if you like a softer bean, continue cooking another hour. S & P to taste. Add the lemon juice just before serving.
If you have a favorite Thanksgiving recipe this year, please leave it in the comments section, or create a link to your blog.
