This was easy and tasty, although I wasn't blown away by it. I cooked as directed for the most part and liked how it turned out. I think next time I might not use all of the bacon drippings. There as too much grease.

Haricots verts are slender green beans; look for them trimmed and ready to cook in microwave-safe bags. If you can't find them, use regular green beans and cook a few minutes longer.
