GRANDMOTHER often prepared her fresh green beans this way, and we much preferred them to plain buttered beans. This recipe goes back to before the 1920s and was a favorite dish of our family when I was growing up. -Lois Gelzer, Standish, Maine

I used Birds Eye Steamfresh whole green beans instead of fresh. I also omitted the onion. These were the most delicious green beans I have ever tasted. The bacon gave it the extra good flavoring. I served them at my Oktoberfest dinner, and they were a hit.

This is the way my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother fixed green beans. I don't think it can be improved upon.
