   Once green beans are done, remove from oven and divide between plates; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Set oven to broil. Place pork on baking sheet used for green beans; top with onion and sliced to fit Swiss cheese. Broil until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.
