Steps:
- Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
- Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.

Tips:
- Choose tender green beans: Look for beans that snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have blemishes.
- Prepare the cashew butter: If you don't have store-bought cashew butter, you can easily make your own by blending cashews in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Use fresh bell peppers: Red bell peppers are the most common type used in this dish, but you can also use other colors such as orange, yellow, or green.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the green beans and bell peppers, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the dish will depend on your personal preference. Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
