#3449 - Fresh Green Beans and Potatoes

(by Shirley McNevich)

6-8 slices of bacon
1 onion (chopped)
2lbs. fresh green beans
10-12 baby potatoes
salt and pepper to your taste

Wash the green beans and remove the ends, discarding the ends. Cut the bacon into 1" pieces. In a Dutch oven over medium heat add the bacon--cook/stir until bacon starts to get brown. Add the chopped onions--cook/stir until onions are tender. Add the green beans and baby potatoes--add enough water to cover the whole mixture. Bring mixture to a boil, then add the lid (slightly tilted), turn heat back to simmer and cook for 1 hour. Drain off remaining liquid. When serving, sprinkle with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
