I'll start with I had trouble wondering what kind of beans would warrant 5 stars. These do :) I scaled the recipe back for two and altered the cooking time because I prefer green beans with some 'tooth'. I added the beans to the pan when the bacon and onions were 2/3rd done and let them saute for a few minutes until the bacon was cooked. I added the broth and cooked it uncovered until the stock had been reduced to a glaze. No more than 15 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed them! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Picture to follow

Great green bean recipe!! I made this but scaled it back for two. I just loved how tender the beans were and then the crunchy part from the bacon. I cooked the bacon first, then I removed the bacon from the pan and added the onion and followed the recipe as directed. I did make the broth using "Better than Bouillon" chicken recipe. This was so full of flavor and a favorite for us Southerners!! Thanks for sharing the recipe Diana!!
