Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
  • 8 small new potatoes, diced
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place the chopped bacon in a skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon pieces on a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet with a lid over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked bacon, green beans, potatoes, garlic, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat until the green beans are tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with vinegar, salt, and pepper, and serve.

Delicious, I just left the bacon grease in the pan and added about 1/3 as much butter.
