Step 1

Add the bacon to a large Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until light golden (not crisp). Drain off the excess fat.

Step 2

Add the onions to the pot; cook until the bacon and onions are golden brown. Add the green beans and tomatoes, and season to taste with salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
