3 slices bacon, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup
chopped celery
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2/3 cup water
3 dashes hot pepper sauce
1 16-ounce package frozen cut green
beans
Cooking Directions
In small skillet cook bacon until crisp.
Remove; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in skillet.
Add onion, celery and garlic; cook and stir over medium heat until
tender but not browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Serving Suggestions
Although green vegetables cooked crisp-tender is au courant, nothing
can beat these old-fashioned, slowly simmered green beans. Try them
with your next baked ham dinner; add scalloped potatoes, a gelatin
salad and soft dinner rolls to the menu.
