Skillet Green Beans with Bacon

October 23, 2015 by Danelle 10 Comments


SKILLET GREEN BEANS WITH BACON — Green beans are sauteed until crisp-tender, then combined with crispy bacon in this classic vegetable side dish.


Skillet Green Beans with Bacon

Fresh green beans are one of the few vegetables that everyone in my family will eat. Even more so when I add bacon, and these quick Skillet Green Beans with Bacon are one of our favorites!

I love how the beans get a little bit crispy and blackened in the skillet, but stay tender and juicy on the inside.

I made this tonight and my family really liked it. I added a package of fresh mushrooms and the recipe turned out great! ~ Amanda

I like to leave my green beans whole and just trim the ends, but if you prefer smaller pieces, you could certainly cut them in half.

These beans are easy enough to serve as a weeknight side dish, but nice enough for your holiday menu.

I’m pretty sure it’s the bacon, but when I come across a way to serve veggies that my kids actually enjoy, it’s going to make a regular appearance at my dinner table!
