Here I show you my recipe Bacon Beans. The green beans with bacon are a popular side dish.
What should I bear in mind when preparing them? Which bacon do you use? How do the beans stay green? I’ll answer all these questions here in this article.
These beans go well with many skin dishes with meat. Good luck!
You can cut the beans into small pieces or leave them whole. Both versions are OK. I sometimes cut the beans small before cooking or do it after cooking. © Food Photographer Thomas Sixt

1. Beans with bacon, the most important thing at a glance…
- After removing the ends, cook the beans in boiling salted water until al dente and then in ice water.
- The green colour of the bean is retained by the rapid cooling.
- Use a smoked bacon or breakfast bacon. Smoked bacon tastes better to me personally.
- You can cut the bacon more easily into cubes if you put the bacon slices briefly in the freezer.
- Use a white, yellow or red onion for the bacon beans.
- You can cut the onion into cubes or strips.
- First sauté the bacon and fry lightly, then add the onions.
- Add the blanched beans just before serving. Season with salt and pepper and heat.
Bacon beans go excellently with steak and roast lamb.
