Ingredients for Amish Schnitzel Beans

  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh Green Beans
  • Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Boiling Water

How to Make Amish Schnitzel Beans

  1. Dice 4 slices of bacon into 1/2-inch pieces and fry in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pot.
  2. Add 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, to the pot and cook in the bacon grease until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound of fresh green beans, trimmed, to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 cup of water.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the green beans are tender, about 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Stir in the reserved crispy bacon before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
