Slow-Cooked Green Beans with Bacon and Red Potatoes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow-Cooked Green Beans with Bacon and Red Potatoes.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and adding the bacon.

2. Step 2

   Cook it, turning occasionally, until it’s beautifully browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once done, carefully remove the bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess grease, but don’t toss out those delicious drippings in the pot—they’re packed with flavor! Next, add the sliced onion to the reserved drippings.

4. Step 4

   Stir it frequently as it cooks, allowing it to caramelize and turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around 10 minutes.

5. Step 5

   When the onion is just right, toss in the minced garlic and let it cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until it’s fragrant and softened.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to bring in the broth! Pour the chicken broth into the Dutch oven and add the trimmed green beans.

7. Step 7

   Chop up the crispy bacon and stir it back into the pot, letting all those flavors mingle.

8. Step 8

   Bring the mixture to a lively boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the Dutch oven.

9. Step 9

   Allow it to simmer gently for about an hour, or until the green beans are tender and infused with all that savory goodness.

10. Step 10

    After an hour, add the cut red potatoes to the pot, season everything with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender, which should take about 30 more minutes.
