Green Beans with Bacon and Onions

Another green bean recipe. I like this one for several reasons. First the beans can be cooked ahead and saved for several hours. You then finish up starting 12-15 minutes before serving. Second IT HAS BACON ! This is mostly a CI recipe except I added some M-salt. This is a garlic - salty seasoning sold locally in west Michigan by friends of the family.
