Country Ranch Green Beans’n Potatoes With Bacon.

INGREDIENTS:

  • ½ stick butter (4 Tbl.)
  • 1 small sweet onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 medium regular red potato, unpeeled, ½-3/4″ dice
  • ¼ tsp. coarse ground black pepper
  • 3 strips crisp-cooked bacon, thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp. finely minced garlic
  • 1½ tsp. dry Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing or Dips Mix (either work)
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can green beans, drained

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In medium saucepan or small frying pan, melt butter. Add onion, potato and pepper. Sauté over medium heat until potatoes are fork tender. (I like to cover with a lid and stir every so often.)
  2. Add bacon, garlic, and Ranch Mix. Stir in well.
  3. Fold in green beans and heat through, simmering, stirring gently and occasionally so that you don’t wreck them.
    Add pepper to taste. Add salt only if desired. *Ranch Mixes are salty.
