To start, you'll need to clean and trim your fresh green beans. Green beans are a great source of vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy and nutritious addition to any meal. Once your green beans are cleaned, cut them into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until it is translucent. Next, add in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. These ingredients will add a punch of flavor to your green beans.
Now it's time to add the green beans to the skillet. Make sure to season them with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to your liking. Cook the green beans for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
While the green beans are cooking, crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces. Once the green beans are done, add the bacon back into the skillet and mix well. This will add a salty and smoky flavor to the dish.
Finally, transfer the southern green beans with bacon to a serving dish and enjoy! This dish pairs well with any southern-style meal, such as fried chicken or BBQ ribs.
