A lot of folks simply open a couple of cans of green beans, heat, add a bit of butter...and wonder why no one eats them! This simple little tweak turns them into a delicious, satisfying side that'll change the way you think of canned green beans. Ingredients:
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans (not french-style) |
4 slices thick-cut bacon |
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic |
salt |
Directions:
1. Cook the bacon in a heavy sauce pan (do not crisp the bacon, just cook enough to extract the drippings). Remove from heat.
2. Empty the 2 cans of cut green beans into the sauce pan directly on top of the cooked bacon and drippings.
3. Add salt to taste and then the 1/4 teaspoons of minced garlic. Stir well and return to heat.
4. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to med-low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes (1 hour is better).
5. Serve and enjoy.
6. NOTE - Use good quality canned green beans. My family prefers flat beans (Cut Italian Green Beans), but regular cut will taste just as good.
