Green Beans With Onions, Ham and Tomatoes image

I created this Italian inspired green beans recipe because I was tired of just plain beans. This has a hint of sweetness due to the red onions and balsamic vinegar and is certainly something different than the norm. I like to prepare this with Roast Beef and roasted potatoes.
