SOUTHERN-STYLE GREEN BEANS WITH BACON AND NEW POTATOES
Steps:
- In a large saucepan or medium Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until it has rendered most of its fat and has begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pan and simmer until the beans are very tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to keep the beans covered. As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.
EASY BEANS & POTATOES WITH BACON
I created this recipe because I love the combination of green beans with bacon. It's smart when company is coming because you can start the side dish in the slow cooker and continue preparing the rest of the dinner-or visit with your guests! -Barbara Brittain, Santee, California

Steps:
- Drain the beans and beans & potatoes in a colander then rinse under cold tap water; set aside to drain well. Cut up onion and garlic and set aside. Cook bacon; drain on paper towels then cut or tear into small pieces. Set aside. In a large, deep skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté just until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Increase heat to medium-high; add the beans and potatoes and let cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes then use an egg turner or similar spatula to flip the mixture over so you don't wreck the beans and potatoes. Cook down until almost all the liquid is gone, flipping occasionally to prevent scorching. When liquid is almost out, sprinkle the dry Ranch mix and black pepper over the top and flip over a couple of times to combine. Just before beans are finished cooking, add the bacon (or you can wait until serving and use it to garnish the top). (I put half of it in the beans and garnished top with other half). Taste and add salt only if needed since the bacon and Ranch mix are salty.

Add bacon, garlic, and Ranch Mix. Stir in well. Fold in green beans and heat through, simmering, stirring gently and occasionally so that you don't wreck them. Add pepper to taste. Add salt only if desired. *Ranch Mixes are salty.

Steps:
- Heat bacon grease and butter over medium-high heat in a large pan.
- Add potatoes and cook for 7 minutes, flipping them over halfway through.
- Add onion and cook 3 to 5 more minutes, until potatoes are soft.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir. Let everything warm through and then remove from heat and serve.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Green Beans: Select vibrant green beans that snap easily when broken. Avoid limp or discolored beans.
- Soak Potatoes in Cold Water: Soaking the potatoes in cold water before cooking helps remove excess starch, resulting in a fluffier texture.
- Use High-Quality Bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon with good marbling for a smoky, flavorful addition to the dish.
- Cook Bacon Until Crispy: Cook the bacon until it is crispy and golden brown for the best flavor and texture.
- Sauté Aromatics: Sauté onions and garlic in the bacon drippings to infuse the vegetables with flavor.
- Add Potatoes and Green Beans: Once the aromatics are softened, add the potatoes and green beans to the pan and stir to coat in the flavorful drippings.
- Season Generously: Season the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme for a well-balanced flavor.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in chicken or vegetable broth to cover the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are bright green.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or chives and serve immediately while hot.
Conclusion:
This simple yet flavorful dish combines the classic flavors of bacon, potatoes, and green beans for a comforting and satisfying meal. The crispy bacon adds a smoky touch, while the sautéed aromatics and herbs enhance the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
