Make these savory green beans at home. This recipe captures the rich, smoky flavor of the popular restaurant side dish using fresh beans, bacon, and garlic butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet with the bacon grease. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the beans start to become tender-crisp.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the butter. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the green beans reach your desired tenderness. For a more tender-crisp texture, cook for less time.
  6. Remove the lid, stir well, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  7. Stir in the reserved crispy bacon. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  8. Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish for dinner.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen green beans for this recipe. If using frozen, you may need to adjust the simmering time slightly.
  • For an extra savory flavor, add a pinch of onion powder with the garlic.
  • This recipe works well as a side dish for steak or chicken.
