Zippy Green Beans
A sweet-and-sour sauce makes fresh green beans a little special. The tangy treatment for this everyday vegetable dresses them up nicely, so they complement most any meal. —Suzanne McKinley of Lyons, Georgia

I made this as a side dish with dinner tonight, and it was really good! The onions and bacon in a sweetened wine/tarragon vinegar sauce was a nice blend of flavors with the green beans. Not so boring as plain ones! And it went great with the crab-stuffed chicken and egg noodles we had with it. Awesome dinner! I would definitely make this again. It was more of a grown-up blend of flavors, though...my younger kids didn't care for it, but my teen liked it.
very good i added mushrooms when cooking the onions. Delicious!!
