Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and trim the ends of the green beans. Set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the bacon grease and aromatics.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the green beans cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired tenderness.
Stir in the butter, salt, and pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and toss to combine.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Company-Style Green Beans!
