Teriyaki Green Beans

This is a wonderful recipe that I use instead of traditional green bean casserole.

Teriyaki Green Beans

You start this with a pound of bacon.  Fry it up crispy and put it aside.

In the bacon grease fry any amount you want of thinly sliced peppers of any color and onions.   I then add frozen long green beans and cook till tender.  You can use fresh if you like and just cook till tender.

When they are done I mix some honey and teriyaki sauce together (any amounts you would like,  more honey for a sweeter taste and less for a more teriyaki taste) and pour it over the green bean mixture.  Season with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you like. Make sure to taste more than one and adjust seasoning to taste.  Top with slivered or sliced almonds and the fried crumbled up bacon.

Toss and simmer for a few more minutes.

Enjoy




Nutritional information about Green beans

Taco Cups

Taco cups make dinner easy.  It is only a few of your favorite ingredients and bake.  Great for lunch or dinner.  I use won ton wrappers because they have fewer carbohydrates than a taco hard or soft shell.

Ok here we go.

Taco cups

Spray a muffin tin with non stick spray any kind will work.  Form in the muffin tin won ton wraps.  Fill with all taco ingredients you like.

 In my taco cups I use ground beef, black beans, black olives, tomatoes, and cheese on top but any of these can be substituted with your favorite taco ingredients.

If meat is not for you use black beans and re-fried beans. It usually depends on what I have in the house.  These can be made with leftover so just be creative.  I love cheese so I will use more cheese that anything else but if dairy is not for you just use the ingredients you like.

You will bake on 350 for about 20 minutes until won ton is crispy.   The taco cups will bake at different times depending on your oven so just keep an eye on it until you have made a batch.

Let cool and top with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and salsa.  My salsa recipe is on the blog too, just search salsa.  Refrigerate any left overs for lunch the next day.
