Another Southern favorite and one hard to avoid if you are a vegetarian in the south is Green Beans with Bacon. Those green beans on the veggie plate? Not vegetarian. Just warning you.

They are darn good though.

1/2 cup bacon, diced
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
2 cups cooked green beans

Cook slowly for 10 minutes to an hour (if you start with uncooked green beans). Add a bit of salt and pepper if you are the sort.
