I prepared this for Thanksgiving dinner in place of the traditional but heavy green bean casserole. It has a delicious, faintly sweet flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen green beans
- ½ cup apple cider
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons real bacon bits
- ½ cup chopped onion
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Combine green beans and cider in a microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Cook in microwave on high for 5 minutes; stir beans. Return to oven and cook until tender, 5 more minutes. Remove beans with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving bowl; reserve cider.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bacon bits and onion in the hot oil until onion is tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour cider from green beans into the skillet; simmer until liquid is reduced, 5 minutes.
Step 3
Spoon bacon mixture over green beans. Season with salt and black pepper.
