Fancy Green Beans

Submitted by Molly Wood
2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans
2 slices bacon
1/2 cup red bell pepper strips
1/2 cup thin onion wedges
1/2 cup whole cashews

In a small bowl stir together teriyaki, honey, and butter.
Fill another bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the lemon juice. Drop the beans in and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they are bright green.
Drain beans in a colander and then plunge them into the bowl of ice water. Drain again and set aside.

In a skillet, cook the bacon until very crisp, crumble and set aside. Saute the bell pepper and onion in bacon grease for 2 minutes.
Add the beans, cashews, and bacon to the skillet. Add the teriyaki-honey sauce and toss gently.
Serve.
