What a treat for green beans! You’ll love the sweet-salty sauce, nutty taste of cashews and sprinkling of bacon. Kelly Waller - Madison, Florida

These are flavorful and the entire family loved them. Since I have "gouty" menfolk, I substituted ham base for the bacon.

I found the green beans to be a bit on the bland side. I say I would try it again but would make it spicier.

I like to add some chopped fresh chilies when I saute the onions and peppers They just to give these some sting. Works equally well with fresh or frozen baby peas. Dice the peppers and onions for consistency in size and shape (Nice thing about frozen is that you don't have to precook. Just thaw in a bowl with hot tap water.) Overall, very good.
