Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. green beans ends trimmed
  • ½ lb. bacon chopped
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and return to a boil. Boil for 5-6 minutes and drain in a colander. Keep the green beans in the colander in order for them to dry off while you move to the next step.
  • Cook the bacon in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium and drain all but about 2 tablespoons of grease from the pan.
  • Add the green beans to the pan, along with the seasonings and stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes or until the green beans are heated through.
