Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 slices bacon, chopped
  • 3-4 cans green beans, 2 drained
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  •  Heat a pot over medium/high heat. Add chopped bacon and let it cook until browned and crispy.
  • Once the bacon is crispy, carefully add the beans to the hot bacon grease. I use two cans of beans that are drained and 2 with the liquid. You want the the liquid to just cover the beans. If using fresh beans, snap them down to a smaller size and then cover with water.
  • Add 1-2 tbsp of butter and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the beans cook for 20-25 minutes.
