Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen green beans
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced onion

  1. Cut green beans if desired.

  2. Heat oil in a pan and add onion and bacon. Cook, stiring often, until onion is softened and bacon has given up most of its fat.

  3. Toss in green beans and cook, stiring constantly, for 5 minutes until they take on a little color.

  5. Drain and serve with additional crumbled bacon, if desired.
