Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 small new potatoes, halved if large
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bacon, cut into thirds
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed

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.

As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will add a lot of flavor to the dish. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the green beans: They should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked green beans are mushy and bland.
  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: This will add a lot of flavor and sweetness to the dish. You can use Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, or any other type of tomato that you like.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, oregano, or basil.

Conclusion:

Green beans with bacon and tomatoes is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It's a great way to use up fresh green beans from your garden, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.
