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.
Tips:
- Prepare Ingredients in Advance: Before you start cooking, wash and trim the green beans, slice the bacon, and peel and cut the potatoes. This will save you time and ensure that everything is ready when you need it.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for green beans that are bright green and crisp, bacon that is thick and meaty, and potatoes that are firm and unblemished.
- Don't Overcook the Green Beans: Green beans are best when they are cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
- Use a Large Skillet or Dutch Oven: You need a large skillet or Dutch oven to accommodate all of the ingredients. If you use a skillet that is too small, the ingredients will be crowded and won't cook evenly.
- Season to Taste: Taste the dish as you cook it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
Conclusion:
Green beans with bacon and potatoes is a classic side dish that is both delicious and easy to make. It's a great way to use up fresh green beans and bacon, and it's a perfect accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats. The next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.

- Serve green beans with bacon and potatoes immediately after cooking. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
