A flavorful and hearty side dish featuring green beans simmered with bacon and onions, perfect for any occasion.
Prepare the green beans by washing them thoroughly and trimming the ends.
Fresh green beans provide the best flavor and texture, but frozen ones work well too.
In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
Cooking the bacon slowly ensures it renders its fat and becomes crispy without burning.
In the same pot, sauté the onions in the bacon fat until they are soft and translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from sticking to the pot.
Add the green beans to the pot along with the chicken broth, red pepper flakes, salt, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Adding broth enhances the flavor and helps cook the beans evenly.
Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it into the green beans before serving.
Adding the bacon at the end keeps it crispy and flavorful.
Serve the green beans warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
Garnish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of color and spice.
