Amish Schnitzel Beans

I didn't plan to post about these green beans but as we were eating dinner we all kept commenting on how good they are... So I stopped eating (oh the things I do for this blog:@) and scooped what was left in the skillet into a pile and tried to get a pic. Not food staging at it's best, but I just had to share this great recipe!
My pickiest eater said these were the most flavorful green beans he's ever had-
High praise indeed:@)

Amish Schnitzel Beans-from Food.com
6 slices bacon
3 medium onions, sliced-I use one large one
1 lb fresh green beans-I used frozen that were thawed
2 cups fresh diced tomatoes-I just grabbed 2 large tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/3 C boiling water-I did not use this
Splash of cider vinegar and pinch of sugar, about 2 tsp of each
  1. Dice bacon and fry until crispy.
  2. Add sliced onions and fry until lightly browned.
  3. Add tomatoes, S&P and water.
  4. Lower heat and cook until beans are tender.
Notes: I felt there was enough water in the thawed beans, so I didn't use the 1/3 C. If I used fresh beans I would add the water. Also, I removed the bacon and drained it on a paper towel once it was crispy, then added it back at the end. I've also made this using canned tomatoes and that was fine.

I'd like to thank Sarah at Hyacinths for the Soul for sending me the link to
this great recipe that I will be making again!

Eat well and have a happy day:@)
