Green Beans German Style

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
My mother-in-law introduced me to this quick down-home dish almost 50 years ago when I was a new bride. The tender green beans are topped with diced bacon and a classic sweet-sour glaze. Guests always ask for the recipe. -Vivian Steers, Central Islip, New York
