Mom would prepare homegrown green beans using this recipe and, boy, did they ever taste good! The bacon provides rich flavor and the brown sugar a touch of sweetness. This is one irresistible side dish. &mdash;Willa Govoro, St. Clair, Missouri

Made half a recipe.  Used maple sugar and used vinegar as a reviewer suggested.  Outstanding!  Will make again!

Another wonderful side kick from Taste of home.  These were so good. I had no bacon so I used the next best thing Ham. Love the nice little light sauce. it just brings those beans to life.

These beans are delicious. I halved the recipe for the two of us and still have some left over. The brown sugar gives these beans a subtle flavor but not overly sweet. Quick and easy and far better than opening a can of beans.

Very good but next time I will not put the bacon in until the end after beans are cooked as per my family&#039;s request.

Effortless to make, and really tasty! I added a handful of pecans.

these were fantastic. I did add dried cranberries and salt.  Next time I might try adding some pecans.  Can't believe how good these were though. Husband loved them too. I'll definitely make these a lot

THIS IS A FAMILY FAVORITE, BUT INSTEAD OF WATER WE ADD 1/2 CUP VINEGAR MAKING IT SWEET AND SOUR GREEN BEANS THIS IS DELICIOUS,
