Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans fresh whole - can use frozen or 2 cans (14.5 oz each)
  • 1 cup bacon chopped - (cooked) or bacon bits
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp minced onions dried
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, add your green beans & fill with water until the green beans are covered.
  • Heat over medium & bring to a boil.
  • Boil until the green beans are tender – about 5-8 minutes.
  • Drain in a colander & transfer back to your saucepan.
  • Add in the cooked bacon, butter, parmesan cheese, minced onions, minced garlic, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper.

Notes

When choosing bacon bits - pick the one that is made from REAL bacon pieces. The ones that are crunchy and artificial will give the whole recipe a funky, artificial flavor.
