Ingredients

• 2 slices bacon, diced
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
• 1 pinch salt, or to taste
• 1 dash ground nutmeg, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste
• 2 (15 ounce) cans French-cut green beans
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 sweet onion, sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel.

Step 2

Drain and discard liquid from 1 can of green beans; empty both cans into a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer; add bacon and sweet onion.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium-low. Stir chili powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg into the green beans. Cook the mixture until the onions are transparent but not yet soft, about 10 minutes.
