Wash the green beans thoroughly under cold running water. Trim both ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces.

Prepare the Green Beans

Chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Chop the Bacon

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon pieces and drain on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

Cook the Bacon

In the same skillet, add the diced onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Sauté Onion and Garlic

Stir in the prepared green beans and cook for 2 minutes, mixing well with the onion and garlic.

Add Green Beans

Pour in the chicken broth and add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil.

Add Broth and Seasonings

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the green beans are tender.

Simmer

Once the green beans are tender, stir in the cooked bacon and optional butter for extra flavor. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
