Mission BBQ Green Beans Recipe

Mission BBQ Green Beans is a dish I look forward to every time—it’s hearty, savory, and incredibly easy to pull off!
You see, the way the smoky bacon balances with the natural sweetness of the green beans is to-die-for,  guys.
A really helpful step is blanching the beans before sautéing them. It locks in their bright color and gives the tender texture you want.
Then, when cooking the beans, be sure not to rush. Let them sauté long enough to absorb all the savory goodness from the bacon and seasonings.
This dish comes together so quickly, but it’s the small details, like crisping the bacon just right, that make this super duper delish!
