GERMAN-STYLE GREEN BEANS
GRANDMOTHER often prepared her fresh green beans this way, and we much preferred them to plain buttered beans. This recipe goes back to before the 1920s and was a favorite dish of our family when I was growing up. -Lois Gelzer, Standish, Maine

My mother-in-law introduced me to this quick down-home dish almost 50 years ago when I was a new bride. The tender green beans are topped with diced bacon and a classic sweet-sour glaze. Guests always ask for the recipe. -Vivian Steers, Central Islip, New York

GERMAN GREEN BEANS
This is another simple but tasty dish that I found in one of my grandmother's old recipe files. My family loves it, and it makes a nice alternative for the traditional holiday green bean casserole. It's good all year long, but especially when the weather turns cool.

GERMAN GREEN BEANS
This is not one of my family recipes although it might have been. I found it in a library cookbook some time ago, and it intrigued me enough I had to try it. The sweet-and-sour flavors will remind you of good old German potato salad. This is a unusual and good side-dish. Try serving it with cold cuts.
