Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) green beans, drained
- 1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Bacon:
In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon pieces and set them aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
2️⃣ Sauté the Onion:
In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
3️⃣ Add Green Beans and Broth:
Add the drained green beans to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
4️⃣ Season the Beans:
Stir in the brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
5️⃣ Simmer:
Let the green beans simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the broth to reduce slightly.
6️⃣ Add Bacon:
Once the beans are tender and the broth has reduced a bit, stir in the cooked bacon pieces. Simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
7️⃣ Serve:
Serve the green beans hot, topped with extra crispy bacon if desired.
Notes
Customization: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more garlic powder or brown sugar for extra sweetness.
Make It Crispy: For extra crunch, you can reserve some of the crispy bacon to sprinkle on top before serving.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
