How to Make Hot Bean Compote
- Dice bacon and cook in a medium saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the saucepan.
- Add brown sugar and cornstarch to the bacon grease. Whisk constantly until smooth.
- Stir in salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
- Stir in the chopped onion and drained green beans.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors have melded.
- Stir in the reserved crispy bacon.
- Serve warm. Enjoy!
