Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Fry the Bacon: In a heavy pan, cook the minced bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the drippings.

    🥓 The bacon drippings add a rich flavor; consider saving a little for other dishes!

  2. Cook the Onions: In the same pan, add the chopped green onions to the bacon fat and sauté until they are slightly wilted.

  3. Add the Beans: Pour in the string beans and stir them into the onions. Cook for about one minute.

    🌱 Fresh beans should be bright green. If you have older beans, you might need to cook them a bit longer to soften.

  4. Steam: Add 1 tablespoon of water, cover, and cook for three minutes.

  5. Uncover and Stir: Uncover the pan and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the beans are cooked to your desired level of tenderness.

  6. Season: Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, stir in the crispy bacon just before serving.

    🌟 For an extra touch, a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can elevate the dish even more!

Serving Suggestions

Serve these vibrant string beans alongside roasted meats or a hearty grain dish. They also pair well with a fresh salad for a complete meal!
