  • Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings from the skillet. Add green beans, carrots, margarine or butter, and garlic. Stir-fry over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

  • Crumble bacon. Stir pepper into vegetable mixture. Remove from heat. Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with crumbled bacon. Makes 8 side-dish servings.

Tips

Im sorry I didnt add a photo. However, the recipe was my base for my additions. I added coconut sugar, salt and pepper to taste, I didnt have cloves so I used allspice and chopped onions. I did a second round with a pound of fresh beans, a fresh onion, cut carrots kinda thick. and a pound of bacon cut into pieces. This was well worth it as my family wiped out 2 pounds of bean salad in one session.
