Green beans with bacon and mushrooms is a delectable side dish that marries the earthy flavors of mushrooms, the crispiness of bacon, and the freshness of green beans. Perfect for any meal, this recipe brings together simple ingredients to create a harmonious and satisfying dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Trim the ends of the green beans and set aside.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, turning occasionally.
- Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
- Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest.
- In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add the finely chopped onions.
- Sauté the onions over medium heat until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté until they are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the onions and mushrooms are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the trimmed green beans to the boiling water and cook for about 3-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
- Drain the green beans and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
- Add the cooked green beans to the skillet with the onions and mushrooms.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the green beans.
- Add 1 teaspoon of stevia leaf sweetener and a dash of salt to the skillet.
- Gently toss everything together over medium heat until the green beans are heated through and well-coated with the other ingredients, about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the green beans with bacon and mushrooms to a serving dish.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh green beans to ensure the best texture and flavor; frozen green beans can be used in a pinch but might be a bit softer.
- Cook the bacon until crispy to add a delightful crunch to the dish.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms for added depth and variety in flavor.
- To save time, you can pre-cook the green beans by blanching them in boiling water for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet.
- Adjust the amount of stevia leaf sweetener based on your taste preferences or substitute it with a small amount of sugar if desired.
This green bean dish is not only flavorful but also quick and straightforward to prepare. The combination of bacon, mushrooms, and green beans creates a symphony of textures and tastes that will surely be a hit at your next meal.
