What a delicious way to make green beans. DH and I thoroughly enjoyed the tartness of the balsamic with a touch of sweetness from the brown sugar. Of course, the rehydrated sundried tomatoes and bacon didn't hurt either. : ) Easy recipe to pull together and it makes a really nice presentation. Served these beans with some salmon and our dinner was a hit.

I made these for a weeknight easy menu, but they are definitely company worthy! Not only pretty on the plate, but delicious! Served with a lime butter chicken, rice, and a fruit salad.
