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
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.
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.
Toss together the green beans, bacon, bacon grease, and salt and pepper to taste.
