1tablespoonsweetenersugar or a substitute*
½teaspoonblack pepper
2cupswater or broth
4slicesbacon
1small yellow onionsliced or chopped
Instructions
Add the sweetener and pepper to the water. Stir and set aside.
1 tablespoon sweetener, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 cups water or broth
Heat a large skillet on medium to medium-high heat and add the bacon. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until just crisp. Add the onion and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent and soft.
4 slices bacon, 1 small yellow onion
Add the beans and liquid to the skillet and stir. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat and simmer. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The liquid will reduce as the beans cook.
1 pound green beans
When the beans are tender, turn off the heat and stir again to distribute the liquid. Transfer the beans to a serving dish and spoon the remaining liquid over the top to maximize the flavor.
Notes
*I typically use granulated monkfruit sweetener instead of sugar in these green beans.
