Green Beans with Bacon Vinaigrette

So this is a simple side dish that I have been making forever.  I always use fresh green beans because the are so much tastier.

1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed off and cut in two inch pieces
3 slices of bacon
1 small onion, chopped
2 teaspoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Steam green beans 8 - 10 minutes until tender crisp.  Or cook then in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain the beans.

In a medium size skillet cook the bacon until crisp.  Drain on paper towels and remove all but one tablespoon of bacon grease.  Break the bacon into small pieces.  Cook the onions over medium in the bacon grease until soft, about 5 minutes.  Add the green beans, bacon, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper and cook on low for 5 minutes.  Serves 3 - 4 people.
