Pat's Green Beans

Pat gave me this recipe many years ago. It's put together the night before, so it is great for a holiday meal.


2 cans French-cut green beans, drained
1 onion, sliced in rings
1/2 cup slivered almonds
8 strips of bacon, diced and fried, reserve drippings
6 Tablespoons bacon grease
6 Tablespoons sugar
6 Tablespoons vinegar

After bacon is cooked, drain grease, then add 6 Tablespoons back into the pan with the bacon. Add sugar and vinegar. Cook and stir for a few minutes. Place drained beans in a baking dish, place sliced onion on top, then pour bacon mixture over all and marinate overnight in refrigerator, covered. Sprinkle almonds over top just before baking. Bake, covered, 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
