For an even deeper flavor, consider sautéing the onions and peppers in the bacon fat before adding the remaining ingredients. If you prefer a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes from the banana peppers before dicing. To add a touch of sweetness, consider adding a tablespoon of brown sugar or molasses to the pot while the green beans are simmering. This dish pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, pork chops, or cornbread.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the green beans, yellow onions, diced tomatoes (with juice), banana peppers, bell pepper, and water. (2 minutes)
02
Step
12 mins
Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot tightly and simmer gently for approximately 10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and have reached your desired level of doneness. (12 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
While the green beans are simmering, prepare the bacon. Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer in a cold skillet. (1 minute)
04
Step
10 mins
Cook the bacon over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it is deeply golden brown and crispy. This will take approximately 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (10 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Transfer the cooked bacon slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble it into small, irresistible pieces. (2 minutes)
06
Step
1 mins
Carefully spoon the green bean mixture, along with its flavorful juices, into a serving dish. (1 minute)
07
Step
1 mins
Generously sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the green bean mixture. Serve immediately, allowing the heat of the vegetables to meld with the smoky bacon. (1 minute)
