2-16 oz. cans Green Beans, drained
2 cups Water
1 T. Sugar
½ t. Pepper
4 oz. Bacon, diced (raw) or ham (cooked)
4 oz. diced Onions

 

Using a colander, thoroughly drain green beans. Set aside.

Mix water, sugar and pepper until well mixed. Set aside. If using raw bacon: Dice the raw bacon into equal size pieces. Cook bacon in pan until thoroughly cooked. Once done, add the onions and cook until they are tender and light brown. If using cooked ham: Dice the cooked ham into equal size pieces. Place the ham and onions into pan. Stir the ham and onions until the ham is lightly brown and the onions are tender.
For both methods, once everything is cooked, add the liquid mixture and the beans. Using a rubber spatula, stir the mixture until well blended. Serves 6-8.
