A delightful twist on a classic green bean dish, perfect for any occasion.
Trim the green beans and cut them in half.
Trimming the ends ensures even cooking and a better presentation.
Boil the green beans in salted water until tender, then drain and set aside.
Blanching the beans in ice water after boiling can help retain their vibrant color.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Save the bacon grease for added flavor in the next steps.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic in the bacon grease until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the mushrooms and water chestnuts to the skillet and cook until tender.
Ensure the mushrooms release their moisture for a richer flavor.
Combine the cooked green beans, pimientos, thyme, salt, and pepper in the skillet and toss to mix.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Crumble the cooked bacon over the dish and serve warm.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the bacon.
