How to Make Crack Green Beans

• Rinse and Prep: Start by rinsing the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends and set them aside to ensure they're ready for cooking.
• Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the beef bacon. Cook until it's crispy, about 5-7 minutes, and remember to turn it occasionally for even cooking.
• Crumble the Bacon: Once crispy, remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble it into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing.
• Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the chopped onion. Sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
• Add Green Beans: Toss in the prepared green beans, stirring to coat them well with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender-crisp.
• Mix in Bacon and Seasoning: Fold in the crumbled bacon along with the salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
• Melt the Butter: Add a couple of tablespoons of butter to the skillet, letting it melt over the green beans. This adds richness and helps blend all the flavors beautifully.
• Serve Hot: Transfer the Crack Green Beans to a serving dish and enjoy them hot for the best experience.
