Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
1. Place beans in a microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on HIGH 3-4 minutes or until beans are hot.

2. While beans cook, slice garlic thinly; set aside. Preheat large saute pan on medium-high 2-3 minutes. Cut bacon into 1/4-inch-pieces. Place bacon in pan (wash hands); cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until bacon is crisp.

3. Stir garlic slices into bacon; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently, or until garlic begins to soften (do not allow garlic to brown). Stir sugar, then vinegar into pan; cook 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, or until sugar dissolves.

4. Stir in green beans and pepper; cover and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until beans are desired tenderness and evenly coated. Serve. (Makes 6 servings.)
