@therecipecollector: During a quiet afternoon, I sat down to review my personal recipe notes. As I organized my collection, I fried up a sizzling skillet of these smoky bacon green beans. Enjoying their savory aroma brought back such wonderful memories of family suppers. GET YOUR COOK ON with NancyG! These crisp-tender green beans, sautéed in rich bacon drippings and tossed with crispy bacon pieces and minced garlic, deliver a savory, rich, and mouthwatering flavor in every bite. It's a rustic vegetable side dish that's truly delicious. Recipe Basics: Yield: 6 servings Measurements: USA standard (rounded up) Ingredients: 6 cups fresh green beans, trimmed 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Detailed Instructions: 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add trimmed fresh green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet. 3. Add unsalted butter and olive oil to the skillet with the remaining bacon drippings over medium heat. 4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. 5. Add the blanched green beans directly into the skillet, tossing them thoroughly with the garlic and bacon fat until heated through. 6. Stir in the crispy bacon pieces, season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a warm serving dish and serve immediately. Chef's Notes by NancyG: For an extra layer of savory depth, sprinkle toasted slivered almonds or grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving. You can also substitute pancetta for thick-cut bacon if you prefer a different cured pork flavor.
