Cooking Instructions
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Cook the Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet and stir to coat them in the bacon fat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Add Tomatoes and Seasoning
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
Combine with Bacon
Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and mix well. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Serve
Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh basil, and serve warm.
