Add the bacon and onion to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the bacon is beginning to crisp and the onions are golden, 5 to 7 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium high and add the green beans and tomato paste. Stir and allow to cook for a minute or two. Add the tomatoes, crushing them with your hands as you add them. Stir to combine. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Bring the mixture to a simmer and simmer until thickened and the beans are soft but still green, 5 to 7 minutes.

I made these twice during the holidays and plan to make them again tonight for my family. This is the most perfect green bean and tomato recipe I have ever found. The crisp tender green beans have a lovely texture and the flavors of tomatoes, tomato paste and cayenne with bacon make this green bean dish the most special I’ve ever had. Thank you, Ree, for a fabulous green bean recipe!

It’s my favorite way to eat green beans ❤️

So....I love my green beans tender/crisp, but I had to simmer them waaaay longer than the 5-7 minutes suggested here.  I put the lid on and kept checking them until they were to our liking.  Having said that, really tasty.  We loved how the smokiness of the bacon came through so well!  We actually had lots of leftovers (on purpose) so we through a bunch of big shrimp into the tomatoes sauce-ish and simmered until they were cooked through.  Great one pot meal.  Will definitely make again.
