SOUTHERN-STYLE GREEN BEANS

Serves 4

3 slices bacon, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2/3 cup water
3 dashes hot pepper sauce
1 16-ounce package frozen cut green beans 


Cooking Directions
In small skillet cook bacon until crisp.

Remove; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in skillet.

Add onion, celery and garlic; cook and stir over medium heat until tender but not browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Add water, bring to boil.

Stir in green beans, bacon and hot pepper sauce.

Reduce heat, simmer 20-25 minutes or to desired doneness.

Serving Suggestions
Although green vegetables cooked crisp-tender is au courant, nothing can beat these old-fashioned, slowly simmered green beans. Try them with your next baked ham dinner; add scalloped potatoes, a gelatin salad and soft dinner rolls to the menu.
