Ingredients for Company Green Beans

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • Whole Tomatoes

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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
