Steps:
- Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
- Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.

Steps:
- In a kettle of boiling water cook the beans for 2 to 4 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender, drain them, and refresh them in a bowl of ice and cold water. In a large bowl whisk together the vinegar, the mustard, and the orégano and add the oil in a stream, whisking until the vinaigrette is emulsified. To the vinaigrette add the beans, drained well, the yellow pepper, and the bacon, crumbled, toss the salad, and season it with salt and black pepper. The salad may be made 8 hours in advance.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are a deep green color and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are yellowed, wilted, or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Before cooking, trim the ends of the green beans. You can use a sharp knife or a kitchen shears.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked green beans will be mushy.
- Use high-quality bacon: The type of bacon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoky flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the green beans, bacon, and red bell pepper, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly.
- Season the dish to taste: Once the dish is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Conclusion:
Green beans with bacon and red bell pepper is a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses.
