Directions

  1. Place green beans in a microwave-safe bowl and add enough water to make a layer in the bottom, heat in microwave until green beans are tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain.

  2. Heat peanut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat, cook and stir onion until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer onion to a bowl and discard any remaining oil.

  3. Place the bacon in the wok or skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and cut into bite-size pieces. Reserve 4 to 5 tablespoons bacon drippings in the wok.

  4. Mix onion, brown sugar, vinegar, and liquid smoke in the reserved bacon drippings, cook and stir until sauce is bubbling and brown sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add green beans to sauce and stir to coat, cook until green beans are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. Transfer green bean mixture to a microwave-safe casserole dish, season with black pepper. Serve immediately or warm in the microwave, if needed.
