I LOVE making this dish when I can pick the beans right out of the garden and put them into the pot. The fresh taste is unbeatable. I've also made it with beans purchased at the store. Either way, you'll find this recipe a winner. There's no need for any extra seasonings at the table. -Ina Reed, Kingman, Arizona

We have reviewed the recipe and found an error with how the bacon was calculated. The correct number of calories for 1 serving (1 cup) is 180 and the fat is 12 grams. The Nutrition Facts will be updated on the recipe soon.Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for bringing it to our attention.Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Re: calorie content on string beans recipe. When I keyed this recipe into my computer recipe program using 4 slices of thick cut bacon, it calculated the calories to be over 400 per serving! When I changed the recipe to read 4 slices of turkey bacon, it recaluated the calories to be 125 per serving (and the fat to be 5.69g).

I agree with rhinde1006...no way would 1 cup have 304 calories! that sounds more like the caloric content of the entire recipe: 4 strips bacon=180 cal, 2 c green beans=80 cal, 1/2 c onion=30 cal.

How could this dish have 304 calories per serving? Even the bacon with 1 T. of drippings shouldn't have more than 300 total.
