Equipment
  • saucepan
  • Cup
Ingredients
  
  • 8 oz green beans
  • 1 cup yellow onion
  • ¼ cup diced bacon
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
 
  • Take a medium-size saucepan and pour extra virgin olive oil. Heat on medium-low and give it a good stir.
  • Once the oil is warm enough, add the finely chopped yellow onion, bacon, and red bell peppers. Briefly sauté over medium-low, stirring occasionally.
  • Add a cup of water and cook for about 3-5 minutes. After the water is about to boil, add the green beans giving it a good stir.
  • Season the mixture with garlic powder, Kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Cook your beans for another 7 minutes and remove from heat. Sprinkle with some bacon bits and serve on the side of your favorite dishes. Note: canned green beans are already cooked. So, don’t cook them for too long or you’ll end up with the mushy texture that loses all its nutrients.
