Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 6 slices bacon, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain the beans and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cooked green beans to the skillet with the onion and garlic mixture. Pour the bacon dressing over the beans and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the beans are heated through.
- Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with the crispy bacon. Serve hot and enjoy!
