Recipe Makes (Approximate): 6 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.

Recipe Notes

  • 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.
