Caramelized Sweet and Sour Green Beans
Ingredients
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans green beans, drained, juices reserved
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat your skillet over high heat, then place it on the stovetop to cook. Add slices of bacon and stir occasionally until they achieve a rich, dark brown color. Next, add sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they become soft and clear.
2
Now, sprinkle some flour into the pan and stir it in. Allow it to cook for 2 minutes more, creating a smooth paste.
3
After that, pour in some vinegar and add 3/4 cup of the liquid from the green beans you've been saving. Add a spoonful of sugar, some salt, and a few grinds of pepper to the pan. Stir everything together until it's well combined.
4
Now, bring the mixture to a rolling boil and then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Finally, add in your green beans and continue cooking until they're hot and steaming
