servings
Equipment
- Large skillet with lid
- Large wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon chopped
- ½ of one white onion diced
- 2 16-ounce cans green beans drained, rinsed
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar see Notes
- ½ teaspoon salt more or less to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper more or less to taste
Instructions
- Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add 6 slices bacon (chopped) and cook until bacon is just crisp, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Stir often to prevent bacon sticking and burning.
- When bacon is crispy, add ½ of one white onion (diced) to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, approximately 5 minutes.
- When onion has softened, add 2 16-ounce cans green beans, ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper to skillet. Stir to fully incorporate ingredients.
- When ingredients are fully incorporated, reduce heat under skillet to low. Cover skillet with lid and simmer until green beans are tender, approximately 10 minutes.
- Taste and add salt and/or pepper as needed, then transfer green beans to serving dish or divide into individual portions and serve warm.
- Green Beans: Canned green beans usually have salt added, so give them a quick rinse or your dish might turn out too salty.
- Salt: If you use regular chicken broth (rather than low sodium), taste the green beans before adding the ½ teaspoon salt. You may find it’s not needed.
- Make it Keto: Replace the sugar with Granular Swerve or omit the sweetener entirely.
