# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup chicken broth, unsalted
02 -
1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
03 -
6 pieces of bacon, diced up
04 -
2 cans green beans (16 ounces each), rinsed and drained
05 -
1/2 cup white onion, diced
→ Seasonings
06 -
1 teaspoon sugar (granulated)
07 -
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
08 -
1 tablespoon butter
09 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 -
1 tablespoon vinegar (red wine)
# Steps:
01 -
In a large skillet, warm it over a medium-high flame. Stir the bacon bits frequently and cook them until they’re crispy—should take 5-6 minutes.
02 -
Toss the chopped onion in with the bacon. Let it soften up for roughly 5 minutes, stirring here and there.
03 -
Mix in green beans, garlic, chicken broth, butter, vinegar, sugar, pepper, and salt. Stir everything together until combined.
04 -
Turn the heat way down, pop a lid on, and let it all simmer. Stir here and there until the green beans become soft, around 10 minutes.
05 -
Taste it, adjust any seasonings if you'd like, and serve it right away while it’s warm.

01 -
Use a low-carb sweetener if keto-friendly is the goal.

Canned green beans provide the most traditional flavor.
03 -
Check salt levels carefully if you’re using standard chicken broth.
