Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the green beans

    Wash the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends by cutting off about 1 inch from each end.

  2. 2

    Cook the bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Reserve some bacon grease in the skillet.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the green beans

    In the same skillet with reserved bacon grease, add the trimmed green beans. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

  2. 4

    Season the beans

    Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the sautéed green beans. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine with bacon

    Crumble the cooked bacon into the skillet with the green beans and toss thoroughly to combine.

Serving

  1. 6

    Finish with lemon juice

    Drizzle the lemon juice over the green beans and bacon mixture just before serving for a fresh flavor.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the green beans and bacon to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
