For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. Feel free to substitute the green beans with 3-4 bunches of your favorite greens, such as collard greens, kale, or mustard greens. Adjust cooking time as needed until the greens are tender. A touch of red pepper flakes can add a pleasant hint of heat.
