Garlic Butter Green Beans Recipe

So, I bought some fresh green beans, but I never really know what to do with them besides just steam them or whatnot. My boyfriend has a number of favorite things he likes in his food, so I thought, I wonder if I can come up with something that combines all of that… and well, here it is.

• 3 cups fresh green beans, cleaned, ends trimmed and snapped in half
• 2 cups water
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oi
• 2 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Bring water to a boil.
2. Add green beans and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Drain beans and set aside.
4. Return empty pot to stove and add butter and olive oil.
5. When butter is melted, add garlic and saute until it reaches the color you like (we like it nice and brown).
6. Add beans back to pan along with bacon crumbles and toss, heating throughout.
7. Add salt and pepper and serve.
