Step 1
Start by heating a small pan over medium-high heat and add your chopped bacon.
Step 2
Cook it for about 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until it’s nearly crispy but not fully cooked—this will add a delightful flavor to your dish.

While the bacon is sizzling, grab your slow cooker and combine the chicken broth, fresh green beans, sliced red onion, white vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, and seasoned salt.

Once your bacon is ready, toss it into the slow cooker and mix it in with the other ingredients.

Cover the slow cooker and set it to High, letting it work its magic for 1 hour.

After that hour has passed, lower the heat to Low and let it simmer for an additional 7 hours.
