Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ shallot, minced
  • 2 ounces bacon (about ½ package real bacon pieces)
  • 29 ounces green beans (2 cans French cut, drained and strained)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Cook aromatics and bacon: In a pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic, minced shallot, and bacon pieces. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the garlic and shallots to soften and the bacon to render its fat and become slightly crispy.
  2. Add green beans and heat: Stir in the drained green beans, then increase the heat to medium. Continuously stir the mixture frequently until the green beans are heated through thoroughly and infused with the flavors of bacon, garlic, and shallots.
  3. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans. Serve immediately while warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh minced garlic and shallots for the best flavor.
  • Drain canned green beans well to avoid excess liquid in the dish.
  • Substitute fresh green beans if preferred; blanch them beforehand for tenderness.
  • For a lower fat option, omit butter and use turkey bacon.
  • Parmesan adds a salty, nutty flavor but can be omitted or replaced with a lactose-free cheese for dietary needs.
