Bacon-Onion Green Beans

1 1/2 lb fresh green beans, trimmed (the ends cut or broken off)
6 bacon strips, diced (cut in small pieces before cooking)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted ( do first. Place in dry hot skillet & stir until golden, set aside)

Place beans in a saucepan & cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. (stir frequently to prevent burning) Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 tbsp drippings.

Saute onion in the tbsp of drippings until tender. Stir in vinegar, salt & pepper.

Drain beans (use the colander); place in a large serving bowl. (I put the beans in the skillet with the onion mixture & bacon & mixed. I thought it easier that way.

Stir in the onion mixture & bacon.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
