1 package frozen French-cut green beans, cooked and drained

4 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, chopped

4 – 6 Tablespoons bacon drippings

3 – 5 Tablespoons vinegar

Salt and pepper

1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise

1 small can (8 ounce) tiny whole beets or sliced beets

Directions:

Mix warm beans, warm potatoes and onion. Add 4 Tablespoons bacon drippings and 3 Tablespoons vinegar. Taste for seasoning. Add salt, pepper, more bacon drippings or vinegar as needed.
