Bacon-Stirred Green Beans
Bacon-Stirred Green Beans pair crisp-tender beans with smoky bacon and a light glaze from brown sugar and broth. The balance of salty, lightly sweet, and garlicky notes makes this a comforting side that complements roasted meats or weeknight chicken. Serve it warm for dinner when you want a vegetable with a bit of rich depth and snap.
