These green beans were fantastic- so good nobody really cared about the meat course I served with them!! I skipped the butter since the bacon provided all the fat it needed. I will cook green beans more often now. (My mom loved them so much she asked me to send this to her foodie BFF.)

These were really delicious however I had to cook them much longer than the recipe called for as the bacon was nowhere near done..as a result the cheese filling burst out of the pepper on a couple of them. Next time I will precook the bacon a bit before wrapping them to give the bacon a headstart

I just ordered baking ammonia from Amazon, not going to search, ordered the cardamom too. I bought a vintage wooden cookie mold off eBay. The idea of baking powder & baking soda together ‼️ very intriguing, can’t hardly wait.

In reply to Lori. Great question! I use plain yellow mustard, the classic squeeze-bottle kind. It adds a little tang without stealing the show from the BBQ sauce. Dijon or stone ground will work too. They just bring a sharper bite. I'll update the recipe card. Thank you for pointing this out!

What kind of mustard do you use? Yellow or a Dijon or stone ground?

I was trying to copy a cucumber salad we had in Germany this summer. This came very close. It was excellent. I added a little sour cream on the side to dip it in. Highly recommend !

I cannot believe no one has rated this yet! Made it and family loved it. Super easy and no baking. Will be making this for our next family gathering.
