Ingredients

1 1/2 lb green beans, cleaned and trimmed
3 Tbsp melted butter

1/4 tsp each salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Cook your green beans until crisp, tender. I usually use my vegtable steamer for this as it makes them come out perfect.
2. Drain beans, place in a large bowl. add the butter, then seasoned flour.
3. Toss to coat.

Tips:

Choose fresh, vibrant green beans. Avoid beans that are limp, bruised, or have yellow or brown spots.
Trim the beans. Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that run along the sides.
Blanch the beans. This quick boiling and cooling process helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness.
Use good quality bacon. The bacon is a key flavor component in this dish, so it's worth investing in a good quality brand.
Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the bacon and beans, make sure to leave enough space in the pan so that the ingredients can cook evenly.
Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the seasonings as desired.

Dutch-style green beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and quick cooking time, this dish is sure to become a family favorite. Serve it alongside your favorite main course, and enjoy!
