Ingredients
-
3 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
-
4 slices bacon
-
1 cup butter
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
-
Place green beans in a pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans start to soften, about 10 minutes. Drain water, leaving beans in the pot.
-
Place bacon strips on a microwave-safe plate and cook in the microwave until crisp, about 2 minutes. Cool and crumble bacon.
-
Stir butter and bacon into beans in the pot and return to medium heat; cook and stir until butter melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Top with lemon zest and stir.
Cook's Notes:
Remove the bacon for a healthier dish. However, adding the bacon is a great option that adds flavor to the beans.
