Ingredients

Scale

Green Beans and Vegetables

  • 4 cans (14.5 ounces each) green beans
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Meat and Fat

  • 8 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Seasonings and Liquids

  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon Montreal seasoning

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Chop the bacon into small pieces and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon pieces onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then set aside.
  2. Sauté the onion: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and butter. Stir and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, making sure to scrape any browned bits for extra flavor.
  3. Add garlic and liquids: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until aromatic. Then mix in the chicken broth, sugar, salt, Montreal seasoning, and the drained green beans, combining everything evenly.
  4. Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the green beans simmer gently for 15 minutes so they absorb the flavors and become tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Finish and serve: After simmering, return the cooked bacon pieces to the skillet, give everything a final stir, and serve the green beans warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Drain the canned green beans well to avoid excess liquid diluting the flavor.
  • You can adjust the Montreal seasoning amount based on your preferred spice level.
  • For a smokier taste, use smoked bacon.
  • Serve as a delicious side for grilled meats or barbecue meals.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, substitute bacon with smoked tempeh or eliminate it, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
