Time 40m

Yield 4 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans (not french-style)
4 slices thick-cut bacon
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
salt

Steps:

Cook the bacon in a heavy sauce pan (do not crisp the bacon, just cook enough to extract the drippings). Remove from heat.
Empty the 2 cans of cut green beans into the sauce pan directly on top of the cooked bacon and drippings.
Add salt to taste and then the 1/4 teaspoons of minced garlic. Stir well and return to heat.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to med-low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes (1 hour is better).
Serve and enjoy.
NOTE - Use good quality canned green beans. My family prefers "flat beans" (Cut Italian Green Beans), but regular cut will taste just as good.
