Mustard Green Beans


It doesn't take a genius to Google search that green beans, in fact, do increase your libido. What makes it increase even more, is the addition of man's favorite food, bacon..

The greatest thing about cooking is making a recipe your own. Feel free to add stuff that you really like to see if it works. Last week I added diced onions to the mix, and it turned out great!! I don't use measuring cups unless I'm following a recipe. Go with your hearts decision on the amount of each ingredient you use. You know what you like, MAKE IT YOUR OWN!

What you'll need:

1 package of bacon
1 large can of FRENCH CUT green beans
Bottle of mustard
Bottle of honey
Olive Oil

1. Start by frying as many slices of bacon as you'd like to put into your green beans. For one large can of green beans, I typically use 5-6 slices of bacon. Fry bacon until crispy (you will be crushing them over your beans later). Save the bacon fat!!

2. Boil the french cut green beans for a bit until tender. Drain.

3. Fry green beans in bacon fat until you get the desired color - I like mine to be dark green with a little bit of brown.

4. Crush up fried bacon to bits once cooled. Add to fried green beans and mix.

5. Get a small mixing bowl and mix a small amount of honey and mustard together. Total of both shouldn't exceed 1/4 cup for a single batch. If you like spicy, add more mustard than honey. If sweet, the opposite. Pour over green beans a little at a time. Don't want to overpower your beans with sauce. You'll know the perfect amount when you see it. Imagine looking at this concoction. Imagine if someone put it in front of you and said eat it. How would you like it to be? That's how you should cook it!
