Simple Green Beans with Bacon: This delicious side dish is quick, easy, so flavorful, and always a crowd pleaser.
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 4 strips bacon, chopped
  • 1-2 teaspoons reserved bacon grease
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
Instructions
  1. Cook the green beans to crisp tender. I love my electric steamer, but you can also steam them in a steamer basket on the stove or you can toss them into a large pot of salted boiling water for 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the bacon either in a skillet on the stovetop or in the oven. I switched to cooking bacon in the oven a few years ago and have never looked back. Reserve 1-2 teaspoons of bacon grease. Roughly chop the cooked bacon.
  3. Toss together the green beans, bacon, bacon grease, and salt and pepper to taste.
