Green Beans and Polish Sausages

First, some munchies:

Saltines were slathered with both the mild goat cheese and then the greek yogurt, then topped with sliced salami and provolone cheese. 

Tasty!!

For dinner, we had these fresh homegrown green beans from the Portingas.

They were rinsed under cool water.

Then chopped into smaller pieces and boiled in boiling water for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, browned 1/2 a chopped onion and once that's lightly browned, added in a chopped tomato. Set aside. Then panfried the polish sausage separately. (We didn't do that and I think our sausages were a bit dry since the veggies took awhile to cook... We ended up taking the sausages out to panfry in a different pan to brown it.)

Added everything together and cooked until the green beans were incorporated. Seasoned with Lawry's salt.

Served with rice and leftover pasta salad. So yummy!

Green Beans with Bacon, Tomato, and Parmesan Cheese

The hubster found this recipe a long time ago, back in Aug 13, 2012 to be specific, and emailed it to me. I've had it earmarked since then, but I guess we never bought green beans until recently. And even when I did buy the green beans, it still took me another week or so to actually cook this dish... Well, here it is:

before cheese

with grated Parm cheese

The actual recipe can be found here: Michiana Eats since we just eyeballed the amount of ingredients used... It still came out delicious! (Also, we subbed minced shallot with minced onion and subbed the butter with bacon fat) Om nom nom.

Now I want to make a casserole version and mix in LOTs of grated Parmesan cheese. So delicious!
