Photo: Garlicky Green Beans Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen green beans
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves peeled garlic, thinly sliced
- 4 strips pre-cooked bacon
- Salt and pepper
Directions
In a microwave safe bowl, add green beans and 1 tablespoon water. Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high setting for 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender.
While green beans are cooking; in a large frying pan, heat the butter, oil, sliced garlic, and chopped bacon gently over medium heat. NOTE: Do not let garlic burn - a light golden brown is as dark as garlic should get.
Drain any liquid from the green beans and add to frying pan. Toss to coat beans and season with salt and pepper.

Excellent.....tasted exactly like my favorite green beans from our local Steakhouse. I used fresh green beans and boiled them for 4 minutes, transferred to ice bath, then drained and added to skillet. Very easy to make and absolutely delicous. Didn't come out greasy at all as some others have suggested.

In retrospect, I think I should have been strung up for even thinking about making this dish in the microwave, as it would have taken about the same time in a skillet, and the result would have been much better. Overall, it had far too much fat, and the garlic added nothing to the dish. I kept thinking "Would you like some green beans with your fat?"

I've made this recipe twice already and found that it was a bit greasy and could have used more flavor. I fixed it from the episode and she used "olive oil" now seeing that the written recipe calls for extra virgin olive oil I wonder if it would make a difference; but I would definitely try it again; always need a way to spice up vegetables
