It combines the protein-rich goodness of bacon with the earthy flavors of mushrooms and the freshness of green beans.

Ingredients:

6 strips bacon
70g
1/2 cup onion
80g
1/4 lb mushrooms
110g
4 cups green beans
480g
1 tsp stevia leaf sweetener
3g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook the Bacon:
- 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.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- 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.
4. Cook the Green Beans:
- 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.
5. Season the Dish:
- 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.
6. Combine and Serve:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.

With its rich flavors and easy preparation, Green Beans with Bacon and Mushrooms is a delightful dish that can elevate any meal. Follow the tips for best results and enjoy this delicious, nutritious side that's sure to be a hit at your dining table.
