These Creamy Garlic & Bacon Green Beans are so irresistible and make a great side dish for the holidays!
SERVING SIZE: 3-4
THE RECIPE:
First, prep your veggies by chopping up the garlic and onion. Remove the stem ends of the green beans, I usually just cut them off!
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and let cool on a plate lined with a paper towel. Drain most, not all, of the bacon grease (carefully) from the pan. I like to either pour it into a tin can or lightly dab paper towel on the pan!!
Add in the green beans, chopped garlic, and diced onions. Sauté for 10 minutes on medium heat.
Add the cream, salt, and pepper to the pan. Crumble the cooked bacon on top, and stir to combine. Sauté for 2 more minutes until cooked.
Slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
Serve warm and ENJOY!
