These garlic-seasoned green beans are sauteed until crisp-tender, then topped with cheese and bacon for a delicious keto side dish. Use your favorite seasoning on the beans, or try a different cheese for variety. I like to shred my own cheese as I find it melts better than the bagged variety.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ounces center-cut bacon, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons water
