Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and trim the green beans. Chop the bacon into small pieces, mince the garlic, and dice the onion.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed, then add the diced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Cook the Green Beans

    Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the beans are tender but still crisp.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the green beans are cooked, add the crispy bacon back into the skillet. Toss everything together and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
