Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups canned green beans
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 medium onion
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Start by dicing the bacon into small pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the bacon cooks, dice the onion into small pieces.
In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Drain the canned green beans and add them to the crock pot.
Top the green beans with the cooked bacon and sautéed onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the green beans, bacon, and onions in the crock pot.
Stir the contents gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the green beans are fully heated through and tender, and the flavors are well melded.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish to complement grilled meats, chicken, or any barbecue meal.
