Green Beans with Sautéed Onions, Bacon and Basil

Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Remove cooked bacon and set aside. In the fat remaining in the skillet, cook garlic and onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and sauté until beans are as tender as you would like. You can cook them 5 minutes or 30 minutes. When the beans are ready, stir in the tomato and season to taste. Garnish if you wish with chopped fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
