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.
