Country Ranch Green Beans ‘n Potatoes with Bacon Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
• 4 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
• 6 strips bacon, chopped
• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
• 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:

• In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on paper towels to drain, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.

2. Sauté the Onion:

• In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add Potatoes:

• Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them in the bacon drippings. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add Green Beans and Seasoning:

• Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the vegetables, and pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine.

5. Cook:

• Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more broth or water if needed.

6. Add Bacon:

• Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the cooked bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Serve:

• Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
