This delicious recipe combines fresh green beans, crispy bacon, tender potatoes, and savory seasonings, making it perfect as a family side or a main course on busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of fresh green beans (or fresh green beans crock pot)
  • 4–6 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes or swap potatoes for sweet potatoes
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for some heat

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and trimming the fresh green beans. Peel and cube the potatoes according to your preference. Chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Drain excess fat and set aside. The crispy bacon adds a rich flavor to the dish and makes an excellent side dish with bacon.
  3. In your Crock-Pot family-size slow cooker, layer the potatoes, green beans, sautéed bacon, chopped onion, and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender, and flavors meld. This slow-cooker method makes meals with greens effortless and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use fresh green beans for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste, adding more garlic or spicy red pepper flakes for added kick.
  • Stir the mixture halfway through cooking for even distribution of flavors.
  • For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and add smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
