Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans trimmed
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  2. Add the diced onion to the bacon drippings and sauté until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the green beans, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are very tender. Stir in the reserved bacon before serving.
