Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until almost done, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the chopped roasted red peppers and continue to toss, until bacon is crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon and peppers to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir the Worcestershire sauce, sugar, mustard and hot sauce into the bacon fat. Return the skillet to high heat, add the green beans and cook, tossing occasionally with tongs, until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the red peppers and the bacon, tossing until warmed through, about 1 minute.
