Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb green beans, whole & fresh
1/2 c walnut pieces
1 medium onion, sliced in strips lenghtwise
6 slice bacon, cut in 1/2 inch pieces (easier to cut if partially frozen)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1-2 tsp Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce (I prefer Worcestershire; use 1 tsp for soy sauce)
1 tsp Tony Chachere's seasoning or your own Creole seasoning

Steps:

1. Rinse beans, drain, and snip off stems ONLY.
2. Place in saucepan and cover with water. Add salt and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 3 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and IMMEDIATELY bathe in cold water. Drain. Set aside.
4. On medium fire, heat large skillet. Cook bacon until fat has covered the bottom of pan.
5. Add walnut pieces and onion strips to the bacon and continue cooking until the bacon is crisp and onions are beginning to turn clear.
6. Add green beans to the mixture, sprinkle with soy sauce OR Worchestershire sauce, and Tony's Seasoning. Using a spatula, gently scoop and turn veggies until well blended.
7. Continue cooking over LOW heat for about 5 minutes. The beans should remain firm.
8. Serve on a platter, arranging beans all in the same direction. Spoon bacon, walnut, and onion mixture on the top and around the edges. Use tongs for serving.
