My New Favorite Green Beans

For my first foray into blogging recipes, I am sharing one for green beans that I found in a random magazine while at the library. Of course, I didn’t copy it down and instead relied on my mad mental skills to remember it. Yes, I should have known better. So this is my own version, a combination of memory and winging-it. Why did I choose this particular recipe to share with everyone? Two reasons. (1) I absolutely LOVE this side dish! (2) No one else in my family enjoys it AT ALL—and I’m determined to find someone who agrees with me. So if anyone actually likes to eat green beans, please try this recipe and tell me if it really is that good!

1 lb. green beans
1 tomato, diced
1 onion, chopped
5 slices turkey bacon
½ c. chicken broth
1 tsp. EVOO

Fry the turkey bacon according to package directions. Crumble into pan and add chopped onion. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.

Add green beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and EVOO to pan. Stir and cook covered on medium-high heat 2-3 minutes. Then uncover, stir, and cook another 2-3 minutes.

So easy! So delicious! So healthy!
So enjoy!
