- ½ pound bacon (cooked (3-4 tablespoons grease reserved))
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 pounds whole green beans (ends trimmed)
- 1½ cups chicken stock
- 1½ teaspoons granulated garlic or garlic powder (divided)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)
- 2 pounds baby potatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons butter
Steps
Cook the bacon and drain on a paper towel, reserving the bacon grease. Add the bacon grease to a dutch oven or large pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the onion to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Add the green beans, chicken stock, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir and cover. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, sprinkle the green beans with ½ teaspoon granulated garlic. Arrange the potatoes over the green beans. Dot with butter and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. Cover and continue simmering for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.
Stir gently and transfer to a serving dish. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the green beans and potatoes. Enjoy!
