Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Once the bacon has cooled, crumble it into small pieces.
- In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
- Add the green beans to the skillet with the onions and mushrooms. Stir them well to coat with the remaining bacon grease and vegetables.
- Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the green beans are cooked to your desired tenderness, sprinkle the stevia leaf sweetener and a dash of salt over the vegetables. Stir well to combine.
- Add the crumbled bacon back into the skillet with the green beans, mushrooms, and onions. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Transfer the green beans with bacon and mushrooms to a serving dish. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious side dish!
Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, consider using smoked bacon.
- Make sure to blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then shock them in ice water to keep them crisp and vibrant in color.
- Sauté the mushrooms separately until they release their moisture and become golden brown. This will enhance their flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a bit of a kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes while cooking the bacon.
