Ingredients
- 6 thick slices bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup onions, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Directions
- Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until the fat begins to render. Stir in onions and garlic; let cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in beans and water. Let the beans cook until the water has evaporated and the beans are tender.
- If the beans are not tender once the water has evaporated, add a small amount more water and let them cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and serve.
Tip: Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
