I used a 1 lb. bag of frozen green beans, 3 slices of bacon, 1/2 onion, 1/2 tsp. salt, 3 white potatoes quartered (we like potatoes) and a pinch of sugar. I forgot the cayenne pepper and this was still delicious. Next time, I'll follow the recipe to the letter for even better results. Thanks, Lennie.

Most excellent!! Sure brings back memories of my childhood. My grandmother made green beans just like this recipe. The onion and bacon sure sets off the flavor so much with the green beans and potatoes. Delicious!! I did cook the beans and potatoes alittle longer than the recipe called for. Thanks so much for sharing this old time favorite.
