Are you getting bored of serving the same old green bean casserole? Boy oh boy, do I have a recipe for you. Trust me, this NEEDS to be on your Thanksgiving menu.
This Smothered Bacon Green Bean Casserole is a simple and tasty way to jazz up the holiday dinner table. And when I say simple, I mean simple. Anyone can make this recipe, and believe me when I say, this will be the side dish EVERYONE will be gushing over.
INGREDIENTS
6 thick slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup onions, minced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until the fat begins to render. Stir in onions and garlic; let cook for 1 minute. Stir in beans and water. Let the beans cook until the water has evaporated and the beans are tender. If the beans are not tender once the water has evaporated, add a small amount more water and let them cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and serve.
Tip: Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
