Ingredients

• 1 lb green beans, trimmed
• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt to the boiling water.
2. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp. Drain the green beans and set them aside.
3. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess fat.
4. In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned.
6. Return the cooked green beans to the skillet with the mushrooms and onion. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat the green beans through.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Crumble the crispy bacon over the green beans and mix well.
8. Transfer the sauteed green beans with mushrooms, onion, and bacon to a serving dish and serve hot.
