Instructions
Bring a large skillet or frying pan to medium high heat and cook the cut bacon until beginning to crisp, about 5-8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter and garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
Add the green beans and broth, then cook covered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the green beans are your preferred level of tenderness. Add (optional) salt & pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
Strain the bacon grease out, if desired, before adding the remaining ingredients. Or, omit the butter and just use the bacon grease to cook the green beans in.
If you opt to skip the bacon, you can use coconut or olive oil to sauté the green beans.
Cook uncovered for the last few minutes to evaporate any remaining liquid, if needed.
