This classic bacon green beans recipe is simple and quick. Toss the fresh green beans with bacon, salt, and black pepper to create an amazing side dish that goes well with everything.
Place a large stock pot filled with water over high heat. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
In a large (12 inch) skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove to drain on paper toweling. Carefully remove the excess grease from the skillet.
