Description
A delicious and hearty dish featuring fresh green beans, baby potatoes, and crispy bacon, all seasoned with ranch flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté in the bacon drippings for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the trimmed green beans, ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook uncovered for another 5-7 minutes, until the green beans are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and stir to combine. Drizzle with olive oil and toss everything together.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the onion.
- You can substitute turkey bacon for a lighter option or use smoked sausage for a different flavor profile.
