These Green Beans with Bacon make the best easy side dish! It's made with perfectly crisp-tender green beans that are tossed with aromatic onion and garlic, a couple of simple seasonings, and crispy pieces of bacon.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and reduce to medium. Boil for 5-8 minutes, until desired tenderness is reached (ideally crisp-tender)
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium until lightly browned.
Add the onion and cook until the onion is softened and the bacon is crispy.
Add the garlic, salt and some fresh pepper to the bacon.
Remove green beans from water and add to the bacon in the skillet. Stir until coated. Taste and serve.
Notes
Storage:Leftover green beans will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To reheat, warm on the stove in a skillet until heated through.
