Equipment
Ingredients
- 7 slices bacon
- 1 pound fresh green beans ends trimmed
- ½ cup chopped shallots
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Slap Ya Mama Seasoning
- garlic salt to taste
Instructions
- Chop bacon into small pieces.
- Fry bacon, shallots, and minced garlic in skillet over medium high heat. Cook until bacon is tender, but not crisp.
- Remove bacon mixture from skillet and set aside.
- Add green beans and chicken stock to the skillet and season to taste with garlic salt. Add half of the Slap Ya Mama seasoning. Stir and cover skillet, cooking beans over medium-high heat until tender, about 25-30 minutes.
- Drain green beans. Return drained beans to skillet and add the bacon mixture. Season again with garlic salt to taste (if you wish) and remaining Slap Ya Mama seasoning. Stir mixture together and cook for an additional 5 minutes over medium heat.
Notes
- We find that fresh green beans are best for this recipe. You can substitute with canned green beans, but they won’t absorb the flavors that cooking them from fresh will.
- You can use either regular or thick-cut bacon. Turkey bacon will also work. This recipe highlights tender cooked bacon, but if you prefer it crisp feel free to leave it in the skillet for an extra minute or two until the desired texture is reached.
- Store leftover green beans in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
