Grean beans with bacon (2 recipes)

Garlic Green Beans
6-8 Servings

2 lbs fresh green beans
1/4 lb bacon, diced
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, mined
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
3/4 t Italian seasoning
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper

Wash, trim, and cut beans into 2 inch pieces. Steam till crisp tender, about 7-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, fry bacon till crisp. Remove with slotted spoon, set aside. Discard all but 3 tablespoons of drippings. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper; cook till soft about 5 minutes. Add tomato, bacon, seasonings and simmer all for about 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add cooked beans and heat through. Note: I often make sauce a day ahead.

Maria's notes: I like things with more sauce, so when I first made this I eyeballed enough green beans for say, 4. When I make this for a crowd I double the sauce and used 3 lbs of beans. Which feeds 12+ well (I had leftovers).

8 bacon slices, thinly sliced crosswise
3 tablespoons butter

Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Drain well. Pat dry with paper towels. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Wrap in paper towels; enclose in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate.) Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Discard all but 3 tablespoons bacon fat in skillet. Add butter to skillet and melt over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender and golden, about 4 minutes.
