How to Make Company Green Beans

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  2. Sauté onion in bacon grease until softened (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Add green beans and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in chicken broth and seasonings. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until green beans are tender-crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Stir in cooked bacon and serve immediately.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
