Ingredients For getting the beans

  • 1 pkg
    frozen or fresh green beans
  • 1 jar
    bacon bits (hormel)
  • 12 sm
    red potatoes, small
  • 2 stalk
    green onion (optional)
  • 3/4 c
    grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp
    mayonnaise
  • 1/2 pkg
    uncle dans or other ranch style dry dressing

How To Make getting the beans

  • 1
    Wash & boil red potatoes. If they are large, cut in half. Rinse green beans (frozen)in a collander with hot water; or blanch for 2 minutes.
  • 2
    In a skillet, toss in potatoes, sliced green onions, and bacon bits and heat through. It's okay if the potatoes get a little crisp to their skins.
  • 3
    Toss in the green beans and mix well. Lower the heat to warm. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise and 1/2 package of the salad dressing mix. You can add a little pepper and salt, but remember you have the bacon pieces, which are salty.
  • 4
    Mix the mayonnaise dressing in the skillet and toss well. Finally, sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the whole thing and give a final toss. Serve warm.
