Ingrediants:
* 5- 7 pieces of bacon
* 1/2 cup slivered almonds
* 1 package fresh green beans (You could use a package of frozen if you want, I just prefer fresh vegetables)
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 3-4 teaspoons minced garlic
* 1 onion, chopped
* 1-2 tablespoons of honey, if desired.
Directions:
* Cook bacon in a large skillet, until browned. Remove from heat and place on a plate covered with a paper towel. Drain the bacon grease.
* Return the pan to heat and put the butter on the heat. Once the butter melts add the garlic and let it brown.
* Add the onion and let it cook for a few minutes.
* Add the green beans and reduce the heat to a medium low. Let cook for about 6-8 minutes.
* Crumble the cooled off bacon into little pieces. Add the bacon and almonds into the pan.
* Add a little bit of honey, if desired.
* Let cook for another 3-4 minutes, until green beans reach the desired tenderness.
That's exactly how I cook my greenbeans!! Only I don't drain that grease..it's the PERFECT instant seasoning and it eventually evaporates a little the longer you cook the green beans. YUM. I believe it's that southern thing! I grew up to my mom cooking almost everything with bacon or bacon fat(the stored bacon grease from previous breakfasts). Def not the HEALTHIEST, but I say happy food makes for a happy person!
ReplyDelete(I realize cooking 5-6 pieces will make a lot of grease..when I cook the bacon I chop only 2-3 up into inch sized pieces, cook in the skillet and then eventually add the other stuff..)
