List of Ingredients




8 slices bacon
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tbls. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup diced pimiento (I use the 2 oz. jar)
2 16 oz cans green beans, drained

Recipe



Fry bacon until crisp,drain on a paper towel until cool. Crumble and set aside. Retain 2 tbls bacon drippings in pan. Add vinegar, Worcestershire, sugar, mustard, hot pepper sauce, and pimiento. Stirring to blend, bring to a boil. Add green beans, mix to coat with sauce and heat through. Stir in bacon pieces.

MY CHANGES:
I use 1/8 cup vinegar. I found that 1/4 cup overpowered the taste. I also add 4-5 tbls. toasted pine nuts. To toast them, just put them in a pan over heat and stir until they turn golden brown. Add them to the dish when you put the bacon in.
