How to Make Green Beans With Lemon Mustard And Bacon

  1. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Steam the green beans for 6-8 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Do not overcook.
  3. While the green beans are steaming, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
  4. Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Stir in the honey mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the steamed green beans and the cooked bacon to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and coat the green beans with the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish. Enjoy!
