Add bacon, garlic, and Ranch Mix. Stir in well. Fold in green beans and heat through, simmering, stirring gently and occasionally so that you don't wreck them. Add pepper to taste. Add salt only if desired. *Ranch Mixes are salty.

RANCH GREEN BEANS & POTATOES W/ BACON RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Drain the beans and beans & potatoes in a colander then rinse under cold tap water; set aside to drain well. Cut up onion and garlic and set aside. Cook bacon; drain on paper towels then cut or tear into small pieces. Set aside. In a large, deep skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté just until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Increase heat to medium-high; add the beans and potatoes and let cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes then use an egg turner or similar spatula to flip the mixture over so you don't wreck the beans and potatoes. Cook down until almost all the liquid is gone, flipping occasionally to prevent scorching. When liquid is almost out, sprinkle the dry Ranch mix and black pepper over the top and flip over a couple of times to combine. Just before beans are finished cooking, add the bacon (or you can wait until serving and use it to garnish the top). (I put half of it in the beans and garnished top with other half). Taste and add salt only if needed since the bacon and Ranch mix are salty.

Steps:
- In a skillet, saute the green beans in butter until tender.
- Add the salad dressing mix and toss to coat. Just before serving, sprinkle on the bacon and mix in, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans, and any strings that may be present.
- Blanch the green beans. This will help them retain their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the ranch dressing. Combine all of the ingredients for the ranch dressing in a bowl and whisk until well blended.
- Toss the green beans with the ranch dressing. Add the blanched green beans to a large bowl and pour the ranch dressing over them. Toss to coat the beans evenly.
- Serve the green beans immediately, or chill them for later. Ranch green beans can be served warm or cold.
