PrintPrint Recipe
  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Prep Time: 0:10
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 strips bacon
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Karo® Dark Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water

Directions

  1. Place green beans in a medium saucepan; cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until beans are just tender. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Return beans to the saucepan.
  2. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble when cool.

Combine corn starch and cold water in a small bowl; whisk into sauce. Cook for 1 minute after sauce comes to a boil. Stir in bacon.
  3. Pour sauce over green beans. Toss to mix well; serve immediately.
