Simple and savory, this skillet dish takes garden-fresh green beans and turns them into a comfort food favorite. Bacon adds smoky flavor and richness, while onions lend sweetness and depth. Grandma would serve it straight from the pan at supper with fresh rolls or corn on the cob.
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
4 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside.
Sauté onions in bacon grease until soft.
Add green beans, cover, and cook until tender-crisp (about 10 minutes).
Stir in bacon and season with salt and pepper before serving.
