Hot Three Bean Salad
A favorite microwave recipe from the late '80's. But don't let THAT stop you!!!
4 strips of bacon
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
2/3 cup white vinegar
1 (16-oz.) can cut green beans, drained
1 (16-oz.) can cut wax beans, drained
1 (20-oz.) can red kidney beans, drained
1 onion, sliced
Using scissors, snip bacon strips into small pieces into a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish. Microwave at high for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove cooked bacon pieces to paper towels to drain.
To bacon drippings in casserole, add sugar and cornstarch, blending well. Stir in salt, pepper and vinegar. Microwave at high for 3 to 4 minutes, until thick.
Add drained beans and onion slices to sauce in casserole, stirring well. Cover. Microwave at high for 6 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving to blend flavors. Sprinkle cooked bacon pieces over top and serve.
Makes 8 to 10 first course servings or 4 to 5 servings as a vegetable.
