For a vegetarian variation, substitute the bacon with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a teaspoon of smoked paprika to maintain that smoky essence. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle hint of heat. If fresh green beans are unavailable, frozen green beans can be used, but be sure to reduce the cooking time slightly.

In a small pan, render the coarsely chopped bacon over medium-high heat until it's nearly crisp but not quite fully cooked, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. This imparts a smoky depth to the final dish.
02
Step
1 mins
In the embrace of your slow cooker, combine the rich chicken broth, vibrant green beans, artfully sliced red onion, tangy white vinegar, a touch of sugar, aromatic minced garlic, freshly ground black pepper, and seasoned salt. Introduce the partially cooked bacon and stir to ensure all ingredients are harmoniously incorporated. Cook on High for 1 hour to kickstart the flavor infusion.
03
Step
7 mins
Reduce the slow cooker to Low and allow the symphony of flavors to meld for an additional 7 hours. This extended, gentle cooking process ensures unparalleled tenderness and depth of taste. Before serving, conduct a taste test, adjusting seasonings as necessary to achieve your desired flavor profile. Present this culinary masterpiece in a generous bowl, accompanied by a portion of the savory broth, inviting your guests to savor every drop.
