Hot Green Bean Salad

Beans  Potato 

• Cooking Time: 20 minutes
• Servings: 8-12
• Preparation Time: 30 minutes
• 4 medioum potatoes, cooked and cubed. Preferably new red potatoes.
• 1 large can cut green beans, drained, or a quart from the freezer
• 2 T. bacon fat
• 2 T. lemon juice
• 1 T. sugar
• 1 t. salt
• 1/4 t. pepper
• 1/8 t. garlic powder
• 1/4 t. dry mustard
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 T. minced onion, preferably red
• 1/3 c. mayonnaise

Mix all the ingrediants except the bacon, onion and mayonnaise in a 2 quart casserole. Heat, uncovered at 325 degres F. for 20 minutes or microwave 5 minutes. When completely heated, add bacon, onion and mayonnaise, tossing before serving. If you are taking this dish to a potluck, heat onsite and toss with the bacon, onion and mayonnaise right before serving.

This recipe is great for a potluck. In Iowa, potlucks and funerals often have many jello based salads, so a good vegetable salad that is great at room temperature is a favorite. This dish is always placed on the family table at a funeral. And for all of you that don't have any idea about rural funerals, that is the ultimate compliment to a recipe.
