Description

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon, diced
• 2 pounds green beans, ends snapped off and longer beans snapped in half
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon butter, optional

Directions

• Brown and crisp bacon in a large pot. Remove bacon from pot and reserve.
• Add green beans to pot along with all remaining ingredients, except butter.
• Bring to a boil and then turn heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Drain beans and add butter if using. Check beans for seasoning and add extra salt and pepper to taste. I like lots of black pepper. Sprinkle with bacon and toss to distribute the bacon and butter.
