French Beans With Bacon



1/3 Pound French Beans, use string beans in necessary
2-3 Slices Bacon
2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1 Shallot, diced
1/2 Sweet Bell Pepper, diced
Salt

Goodness, this is a tasty one. It's a nice compromise dish, too. You get to eat some healthy veg, but there's a little bacon, too.

Begin by dicing two (or three...) slices of bacon. Cook over medium heat until bacon turns a nice mahagony. Remove bacon to a paper towel, and drain off most of the fat, leaving about two tablespoons.

Add garlic, shallots, and beans. Cook for about four minutes, until the beans begin to show a bright green color. Add diced bell pepper, and cook another minute. Add bacon, a pinch of salt, toss, and serve.
