SCHNITZEL BEANS

4 slices bacon

1 qt. string beans

3 medium onions, sliced

2 cups tomatoes, chopped

1 tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

1 cup hot water

Dice the bacon and fry until crisp. Slice the onions and fry until soft. Cut the beans into small (1-inch) pieces and brown them slightly with the bacon and onions. Add the tomatoes, seasoning and boiling water. Cover and cook very slowly until beans are tender. Add water if necessary, so there will be a little sauce to serve with the beans.
