Green Beans seasoned with Bacon


You will need:

  • 1 Can Green Beans (drained and rinsed, use the amount you need for your size family, 1 can feeds 3 people)
  • Slice of Bacon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Sprinkled Pepper to taste
  • teaspoon of white vinegar (optional)
  • enough water to cover the beans
In a saucepan, cook the bacon on medium-high heat until there is some grease in the pan, but "not" until the bacon is crispy. Add the green beans, and salt, sprinkled pepper,  white vinegar (optional)  then cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low and cook for about 30- 45 minutes.
Enjoy!

For a healthier lower saturated fat version, leave out the bacon, and add beef broth to the pot instead of water. You can do this to help give flavor to any vegetable (chicken broth works great too).
