Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached. You can also snap the beans in half or into thirds, if desired.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: This will add a lot of flavor to the dish. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
  • Sauté the garlic and onion: This will help to bring out their flavor. Sauté them in a little bit of oil or butter over medium heat until they are softened.
  • Add the green beans and cook until tender: You can do this in the same skillet that you cooked the bacon and garlic in. Cook the green beans for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Season with salt and pepper: Taste the green beans and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or chives.
