Infused with rich bacon flavor and cooked to tender perfection, these green beans are a welcome addition to Sunday meals—simple ingredients create a family favorite. The smoky bacon bits add a pop of saltiness to each bite. This dish is especially delicious if you are able to gather the beans from your garden.

Ingredients

  • 4 bacon slices, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Method

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon for about 5 minutes until crispy. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the green beans, season them with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for about 4 minute
