Instructions: In medium saucepan, place green beans and turn on medium heat. Meanwhile, in skillet, fry bacon until crisp. After bacon is done, pour bacon grease on green beans. Take bacon, let cool, then crumble. Add bacon to green beans along with onion powder, salt, pepper, and shake of garlic powder. Cook beans till liquid is almost gone. Add 1/2 cup of water, cook beans down again. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes; serve.

(Editor, Spike the Grate, does it a little differently. I drain the beans, and rinse them to remove high sodium; cut the bacon with scissors into 1/4 inch pieces. Saute the bacon snippets until about half-done, add the beans to the bacon and drippings, add minced red onion, minced green pepper slice, shake of black pepper, and shake of garlic powder. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or so. Watch it so it doesnt scorch.)
