It was the excellent balance of flavors in these Italian green beans that sealed their position at the top of the list. The recipe takes a Southern approach, imbuing the beans with not just salt, but also bacon fat, onion, sugar, hickory smoke flavor, and even a touch of MSG for an extra punch of umami.
Americans consume 4.5 billion tacos annually, and not just on Tuesdays. Take a quick stroll down the Mexican food aisle of your favorite supermarket or big box store and one thing is clear - food manufacturers want a piece of the taco market.

Highkey Sugar-Free Original Sandwich Cookies came in at number one, a strong contender for an Oreo alternative. But if you're a fan of buttery traditional shortbread, Voortman's is the winner for you.
