EASY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Steam or boil green beans until just underdone to your liking (I make mine crisp-tender).
• In a medium skillet, heat bacon fat over medium high heat.
• You only want the fat to coat the bottom of the pan, the beans should not be swimming in it.
• Add beans and saute, stirring to coat with bacon fat, about 2 minutes, until beans start to sizzle.
• Sprinkle with sugar and stir to coat, about 1 minute.
• Lower heat and add mustard and worcestershire sauce, stirring well, and saute for another 2 minutes or so.
• Serve hot.
