recipe: sauteed green beans

made these to go with last night's din... i used a combination of 2 recipes, Sauteed Green Beans and Garlic Green Beans, both from allrecipes.com.

ingredients list: (for 2) 
- 2 cups (roughly - i didn't measure) fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 cup onion
- 2 sliced bacon, diced & uncooked
- 1/2 tbsp butter
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- salt & fresh cracked pepper

to make: in a large pan, sautee bacon over medium heat. once it gets to a point where it's about half way cooked, add the onion and sautee until the onion is browned and the bacon is crisp, adding garlic for the last minute of cooking.

while bacon/onion mixture is cooking, boil green beans in a small pot of water for 4 minutes. rinse under cold water and pat dry. add the butter and green beans to the saute pan with the bacon/onion/garlic mixuture, and sautee for about 5 minutes until cooked through and the beans have a slight char to them. remove to a small bowl, and stir in the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.

i can't tell you what these tasted like because i don't eat green beans (or many other green vegetables for that matter), but kyle really enjoyed them so that's a good sign. if i did eat beans, i'm pretty sure cooked in bacon grease and onion/garlic is the way to do it. can't go wrong cooking anything like that : )
