Description
These green beans bring big flavor with minimal effort. Slow-cooked with crispy bacon and tender onions, then finished with a splash of apple cider vinegar, they hit the perfect balance of savory, smoky, and just the right bite of brightness.
Ingredients
1½ lbs fresh green beans, trimmed
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes for a little kick
Instructions
In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside. Sauté onions in the bacon fat until soft.
Add green beans, onions, bacon, and broth to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until green beans are tender.
Stir in apple cider vinegar just before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve hot, with extra bacon bits if you’re feeling generous.
