Instructions
- Place chopped bacon into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy.
- Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
- Discard all but (approx) 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
- Add green beans to pan and cook over medium heat until they are lightly browned, stirring occasionally (about 8 minutes).
- Add garlic and bacon, toss and cook for 1 minute more.
Notes
- Fresh green beans are the best option, but frozen (or even canned) will do in a pinch. Frozen or canned beans will not be as crisp.
- If you only have pre-cooked bacon (or real bacon bits) use a bit of butter to cook the beans.
- Options: Garnish with sliced almonds, toasted sunflower seeds, parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- Kitchen Tip: If topping these with nuts or seeds, cook them in a dry skillet until they are just barely browned. This intensifies their flavor and makes them extra crunchy.
