Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Wash and trim the green beans, cutting them into 1-2 inch pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

2

Cook the Bacon

In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

4

Add the Green Beans

Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.

5

Simmer with Broth

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender.

6

Season and Serve

Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm.
