I would have given this recipe a five star but I made some personal changes. All in all this was a very good concept. I did not use the bacon drippings to cook onions in. I used a tad bit of butter. I also added some lemon pepper to give a little more seasoning.It was very good everyone at Easter dinner raved over them!

I have not tried this yet but noticed an old comment as far as Weight Watchers friendly. Someone stated it is a 1 Point recipe. That's the old WW Points value. PointsPlus+ value is 2. An awesome recipe. I will be using it!

This was outstanding. I am on Weight Watchers, and this is ONLY one point per serving.

I'm making this again for Easter. I used frozen green beans, Mrs Dash, & Soul Seasoning. Very Good!

Yummy! I omitted the tomatoes, but the dish still turned out great. I will most certainly use this recipe again.

I have now made this recipe several times and even my 9 year old, who hates green beans, will go back for seconds. This will be in my recipe box forever.

Very bland. I added extra spices and it helped some, but I don't know if I will make it again. If I do maybe I will try frozen beans. We didn't care for the taste of the fresh beans.

This was sooo good. I made some changes though. I didnt do this in a crock pot, i did mine on the stove, but it was still so delicious.

This was such a great dish. I made it the original way the first time around and then a lighter version with turkey bacon the second time. This will always be included in our weekly menu. Also if you don't have fresh green beans on hand frozen works well and you don't have to add the chicken broth!
