Making Green Beans Tolerable

I'm not much of a blogger. Nor am I much of a veggie lover. In fact, I really don't like veggies, except for the starchy ones... and the ones used for seasoning. I like onions, and peppers. If tomato was still considered a vegetable, I'd like that.
If all other veggies tasted like corn or potatoes, I'd be good.
But they don't.
So in my quest for trying to eat a little healthier, or to at least have a side dish with my meat that wasn't made of eggs, I decided to take a vegetable that I hate less than the others and try to doctor it up. The result is that I actually ate my green beans.
So, here's my recipe! I'm writing it out the way I make it... without measuring. Somewhere I actually did write out a recipe on this site using the measurements, but I had to guess at them. I also had to guess at the number of servings. The amounts of each ingredient really is up to the individual making it.
Sun-dried Alfredo & Green Beans
1 package of frozen green beans
Classico brand Sun Dried Tomato Alfredo Sauce
Pre-cooked bacon slices
Carmelized red onion
Mozzerella Cheese
Tear your bacon slices into bite sized pieces and carmelize your red onion in a bit of olive oil.
Mix everything except the cheese in a baking dish. You can bake it til it's hot, topping with the mozzerella during the last few minutes so that it melts, or pop it in the microwave. That's what I did, I nuked it. But then, I only made a little bit, just for myself, and didn't want to heat up the house just for one person's side dish. I put the cheese on first and nuked it til the cheese melted. That was long enough to cook the beans.
