Down-Home Classic Green Beans
This dish is great hot or warm and it can be made ahead of time and warmed later when ready to serve.
INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4-6
- 3 slices bacon, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 russet potato, diced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is warmed, add the bacon and the onion and cook until bacon is brown but not crispy, about 5 minutes.
Add the green beans, potato, chicken broth, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 3–4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for 5 minutes. The potatoes should be almost soft and the green beans should be bright green.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Let the broth evaporate. Serve immediately.
