Sometimes you get tired of just having fresh green beans steamed with some butter and salt and want to add some pizzazz to them. I found this recipe on Kraft's website, tried it, it was yummy and very easy to make.

Ingredients:
6 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces (I left the bacon in strips and then fried it, when cooled I crumbled it by hand)
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 medium plum tomatoes, chopped (I had to look up online what a plum tomato was, it is a Roma tomato)
Directions:
COOK bacon in large skillet on medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Transfer bacon with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving drippings in skillet.
ADD onions to drippings in skillet; cook and stir 6 min. or until lightly browned. Add beans, broth and pepper; mix well. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Simmer 40 min. or until beans are tender.( I found it did not take 40 minutes for the green beans to become tender, taste 15-20 minutes into cooking process to see if they have softened up)
STIR in tomatoes; increase heat to medium-high. Cook 3 min. or until tomatoes are heated through. Transfer to serving dish. Sprinkle with bacon. Serve warm.
