Simple and packed with flavor, onions and bacon are the perfect complement to farmstand-fresh green beans.

Foodie Byte: This entire dish can be prepared ahead and served at room temperature, if desired. If served hot, everything can be prepared right up until steaming the green beans, then toss hot green beans with onions and bacon when ready to serve.
