I made the green beans tonight. I probably would use a little less sugar, a little more vinegar, a lot more bacon, and maybe add some hot sauce. I like more savory than sweet, but it definitely was a tasty Amish dish.
Yes, I love Thanksgiving, too. Everything about it. It's such a decadent food day!
I will miss not having you, Mrs. , kids, Uncle and Mrs. this year, but our memories of Thanksgiving past always provide a blanket of comfort and a lot of laughs and shout-outs.
I just saw this different recipe for Sweet and Sour Green Beans, which I'm going to try this year, along with all the other traditional versions (Green Bean Casserole and Green Beans Almondine). I like this, but I think the bacon caught my eye, then the sugar.
Sweet and Sour Green Beans
1 qt. cooked green beans , 3 slices bacon (I'll add more), 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup vinegar, 1 egg well-beaten. Fry bacon, drain and crumble, and set aside. In saucepan, mix together sugar, vinegar and egg. Bring to a boil. Add sauce and bacon to cooked green beans, stir and serve. Sounds very easy, and very delicious, and it reminds me of the Amish-style cooking from Reading, PA that now is very appealing to me.
I love you. I wish you and your readers (who are all friends!) a very wonderful Thanksgiving, and worthy of giving thanks that we are part of each other's lives.

Will it make the Thanksgiving rotation?

Let us know how it goes!
I’ll be hosting Thanksgiving this year and I don’t like to make Turkey. *gasp* from the CWD crowd! I’ll be making chicken instead. *double gasp*
I’m excited to plan the sides, my favorite! Saturday night activity is the planning!
At least there’s poultry involved!
No, I don't think so. It is not universally appealing.
