I love the name. I'm going to try it the next time I have fresh green beans on the menu.

Oh, yeah! My husband's nephew is the only person I'd ever heard of to saute green beans in bacon grease, but you beat it. Great recipe!

Recipe is a winner, and full of flavor. The bacon , wine, and lemon juice sets this one to the next notch.I used cream sherry for the wine it off set the lemon juice.

Good sounding recipe...at this moment i am preparing it...but you do not indicate when to mix in the almonds or when to combine with the beans nor what it is you to do with the saved
bacon fat...but 2/3 of a recipe is better than none..i will proceed blindly but hopefully
