   Carol came up with this idea as a side for a rib roast Christmas dinner. It's a Southern-style take of green beans sauteed in bacon fat with red bell peppers. It really works as a combination and is one we've never seen anywhere.

                  Green Beans and Peppers
                            Carol
fresh green beans
1 red bell pepper
1-2 Tbs bacon fat
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Cut red pepper to strips about the same size as the beans. Trim and cut green beans in half and steam until just starting to become tender. Melt bacon fat in skillet and add beans,peppers, sugar, and salt. Cook until desired tenderness.
