Bacon-Almond Green Beans
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4-5 Tablespoons real bacon bits
- 4-5 Tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute or until sugar is dissolved.
Drain beans; add to the skillet. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with bacon and almonds; toss to coat. Serve with a slotted spoon.
