For optimal melting, shred your own Cheddar cheese instead of using pre-shredded varieties, which often contain cellulose that hinders smooth melting. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or even a smoked Gouda would add delicious variations to this dish. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the green beans to a baking dish after sautéing and then broil.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
6 mins
In an oven-proof skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the rendered bacon grease in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and add enough butter to the skillet to equal 2 tablespoons of fat.
02
Step
7 mins
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with garlic powder and toss to coat the beans evenly. Sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes, then add the water to create steam.
03
Step
4 mins
Continue cooking until the water has evaporated and the green beans are crisp-tender, about 3-4 more minutes. Adjust cooking time to your desired level of tenderness.
04
Step
1 mins
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler.
05
Step
1 mins
Top the green beans evenly with the freshly shredded Cheddar cheese and sprinkle generously with the cooked bacon crumbles.
06
StepPlace the skillet under the preheated broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1 minute. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
