Green Beans in Beer Sauce

1/3 pound sliced bacon, diced
1 package (16 ounces) frozen cut green beans, thawed
1/3 cup beer or nonalcoholic beer
1/3 cup butter, cubed
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons white vinegar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons grated onion

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring the beans, beer and butter to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender.

Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Remove beans with a slotted spoon and keep warm. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch and onion until blended.

Stir into the saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add beans; heat through. Sprinkle with bacon. Makes 4 servings.
