Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the bacon into small pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pan with the bacon drippings and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Then, stir in the washed green beans, coating them in the onion-garlic mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add the salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the green beans simmer for 30-35 minutes or until they are tender and have absorbed the flavors.

Step 9

Stir occasionally and check the liquid level, adding a bit more water or broth if necessary to prevent the beans from drying out.

Step 10

Once the green beans are tender, remove them from the heat. Stir in the cooked bacon pieces and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite meal.
