Bacon Ranch Green Beans
Servings 4
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter, divided
- ½ small red onion, diced
- 4 oz button mushrooms, sliced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 8 oz haricot verts **If you use regular green beans, you will need to cook them a bit longer
- 2 tbsp water
- 1-2 tsp Ranch dressing seasoning powder
- 3 tbsp fried onions, toasted until golden brown
- 2 tbsp bacon bits
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms, and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Season with a bit of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Remove from the pan to a bowl and set aside until needed.
- Place the green beans in the same skillet with 2 tablespoons of water and turn the heat up to medium-high.
- Cook, stirring occasionally until the green beans are crisp-tender and the water has evaporated, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and onions back to the skillet along with the last 1 tablespoon of butter and the ranch seasoning.
- Stir to coat evenly, then taste and add more ranch until you get to your desired flavor level. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour onto a serving plate and top with the toasted fried onions and bacon bits. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
