Serves: 6


Ingredients
1/2 pound bacon
1 small onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
salt and pepper to taste

Step by Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the bacon until it is cooked, but not crispy. Add the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the bacon is crispy. Transfer the bacon mixture to plate and set aside.
  2. Add the green beans to the skillet, along with a tablespoon or so of the remaining bacon grease. Saute the beans until tender, about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Return the bacon mixture to the pan and toss to mix evenly with the beans. Serve immediately.
