Ingredients

  1. 5 slices thick-cut bacon
  2. 1 red onion, sliced thin
  3. 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced small
  4. 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
  5. 1 cup chicken stock
  6. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  7. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  8. 1/4 cup fried onions

Instructions

  1. Place the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
  2. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook for a minute or two, then add the green beans. Cook until the green beans are bright green, an additional minute. Add the chicken stock, garlic powder and a good pinch of both salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and lightly cover, allowing the some of the steam to escape. Cook until the liquid is evaporated and the beans are starting to soften, but still have a bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. Transfer the beans to a serving vessel. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the top of the beans, along with the fried onions.

This was the first time I had ever made fresh green beans, and it was delicious. I did leave out the jalapeño because my wife does not like it.
Timothy Orozco
This was just ok. I was disappointed since I love Ree’s recipes. Won’t make this again as the whole family didn’t like it.
Bradley Jenkins
