Recipe Introduction


You know how I pride myself on dishes that stir and cook up quickly. Well, this one takes a few more minutes than some of my recipes, but you'll soon see it's worth it. The stewed tomatoes need to cook a little longer for all the flavors to shake hands and say howdy. Besides, the dish requires only about five minutes of "baby-sitting" and no more than a half hour to reach perfection!
Serves 6 (1 cup)





List of Ingredients



• 3/4 cup chopped onion
  
• 5 1/2 cups frozen cut green beans
  
• 1 cup water
  
• 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
  
• 1 3/4 cups (one 14 1/2-ounce can) stewed tomatoes, undrained
  
• 1/2 cup Heinz Light Harvest or Healthy Choice ketchup
  
• 2 tablespoons Hormel Bacon Bits
  
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  






Instructions



1. In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add green beans, water, and garlic. Mix well to combine. Lower heat. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until green beans are tender. Add undrained tomatoes, ketchup, bacon, and black pepper. Mix well to combine. Continue cooking 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
