Turn simple pantry staples into something special with these Flavorful Canned Green Beans — tender beans sautéed with crispy bacon, onions, and savory seasonings for an easy, comforting side dish everyone will love! #cannedgreenbeans #comfortfood #baconlover

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) green beans, drained

  • 4 strips bacon, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving some bacon grease in the pan.

  2. Add butter to the skillet and melt it into the bacon grease.

  3. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss to coat.

  6. Season with black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes (if using), onion powder, and garlic powder.

  7. Stir in the crispy bacon pieces and cook everything together for 5-7 minutes until heated through and flavorful.

  8. Serve hot as a savory side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of chicken broth after sautéing the onions.

  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a fresh, bright twist.

 

  • This recipe works just as well with fresh or frozen green beans — just adjust cooking time.
