Smothered Green Beans Recipe

Instructions:

Step 1

Rinse the trimmed green beans under cold water. Optionally, chop them into smaller pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside, keeping the bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 3

In the same skillet with the bacon fat, sauté the sliced onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the minced garlic; add it to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet, tossing them with the bacon fat, garlic, and onions until evenly coated.
