Photo by: Taste of Home Beans with Celery Bacon Sauce Recipe

Bacon adds nice crunch and flavor to the sauce for the dressed-up green beans I serve for our Christmas ham dinner. Since this dish goes well with many other foods, too, it's a recipe I use often throughout the year. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma
