Keto Cheesy Bacon Green Beans

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Keto Cheesy Bacon Green Beans.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and add your bacon.

2. Step 2

   Cook it until it turns a beautiful brown and crispy, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once it’s perfectly cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the delicious bacon grease behind in the skillet.

4. Step 4

   Now, reduce the heat to medium and add enough butter to the skillet to equal 2 tablespoons of fat, creating a rich base for your green beans.

5. Step 5

   Next, toss in the trimmed green beans and season them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.

6. Step 6

   For an extra flavor boost, add a dash of garlic powder, toss everything together to coat the beans, and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until they start to soften.

7. Step 7

   To help steam the green beans and enhance their vibrant color, pour in a bit of water and continue cooking until the water evaporates and the beans are crisp-tender, which should take another 3 to 4 minutes, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness.

8. Step 8

   While the beans are cooking, position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat your oven's broiler.

9. Step 9

   Once the green beans are ready, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese on top, followed by the crispy bacon bits.

10. Step 10

    Now, place the skillet under the broiler and watch as the cheese melts and bubbles to perfection, which should take about 1 minute.
