Perfectly crunchy and coated in a delectable, mustard-forward sauce, these green beans are the perfect companion for any entree. This recipe is a take on the German dish, Speckbohnen. “Speck” refers to the fat in pork and “bohnen” means beans. For our version, apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard provide a tangy kick while a touch of brown sugar balances out the sourness. For crispier bacon bits, broil an additional 5-10 minutes before adding the green beans. Double the recipe to feed your Thanksgiving guests, or enjoy the leftovers cold on their own.
