My version of a recipe in Rival's "Crock Pot Cooking" book






Recipe Introduction


The original recipe called for frozen green beans, but I don't like the texture, so I used fresh - they were wonderful! You won't be sorry, even though it takes a little extra time to french them.





List of Ingredients



• 2 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed and frenched
  
• 4 slices bacon, diced
  
• 1 small onion, diced
  
• 1 T. flour
  
• 1/4 c. water
  
• 1/4 c. cider vinegar
  
• 2 T. sugar or Splenda
  
• 1/2 t. salt
  
• pepper
  






Instructions



1. Cook the beans in boiling water for about 10-15 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add to crock pot.
   
2. In a skillet, fry bacon until crisp; remove bacon and drain. Pour off all but 2 T. fat from skillet; saute onion in fat (do not brown). Dissolve flour in water; stir into onions and cook until slightly thickened. Stir bacon and remaining ingredients into onion mixture. Pour over green beans and mix well. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, then turn to low setting for 7-9 hours.
