Description

First, we fry bacon to create these southern green beans. Then, we use the rendered fat from the pork to make a savory base to saute garlic and onions. Afterward, we toss the green beans with spices like red pepper flakes to infuse heat. Then, we pour in chicken broth to allow all of the flavors to simmer. The nice part? This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to assemble and you can have a delicious side on the table with little to no effort.

Ingredient:

  • 6 bacon strips, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-in. pieces
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
