Ingredients

  • 1 pound green beans
  • 2 tablespoons bacon grease or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth, plus more if needed

  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Method

  1. Snap or cut the stem ends from the green beans.
  2. Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add the green beans and cook until bright green, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the broth, bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cover, leaving the lid slightly cracked.
  5. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, adding broth if needed, until tender but still slightly crisp and the liquid has cooked away.
