Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a little kick!
Instructions
- First off, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in those fresh green beans and let them cook for about 5 minutes. We want them tender but still nice and crisp!
- Once they’re done, drain the green beans and set ‘em aside. You can even give ‘em a little cold water rinse to stop the cooking process.
- Now, in a large skillet, let’s cook up that bacon! Heat over medium heat, and once it’s nice and crispy, remove the bacon and let it drain on a paper towel. Keep that heavenly bacon grease in the skillet though! It’s packed with flavor!
- In the same skillet, add olive oil and toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute until it’s fragrant—don’t let it burn though!
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine that garlic goodness. Let it simmer for a few minutes before adding in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Stir until the cheese melts, creating that creamy, dreamy sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and if you’re feelin’ bold, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes!
- Now, toss in those green beans and the crispy bacon! Stir it all together until the green beans are well coated with that luscious sauce.
- Serve it up hot, and watch everyone dive in! This dish is gonna be a hit, guaranteed!
So there you have it folks! A dish that brings everybody together, full of flavor and love. Enjoy your Green Beans in Creamy Parmesan Sauce with Bacon, and until next time, keep on cookin’!
