- For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- To make this dish a little more spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Serve this dish immediately after cooking, as the green beans will start to lose their crispness if they sit for too long.
