Thanksgiving huh? What is your favorite Thanksgiving offering? Stuffing? Pies? Turkey?
What is your least favorite? Mine has to be green bean casserole. I never had it for Thanksgiving growing up so I am just not used to it. Here is another way to serve green beans at Thanksgiving. It might not be the healthiest, but I would much rather get my calories from bacon and butter than cream of whatever soup.
1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed off
4 pieces bacon, diced
1/4 cup butter
4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add bacon and green beans. Stir occasionally and cook until bacon is crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until garlic is light brown, about 3 minutes.
Transfer green beans to a serving bowl. Pour garlic butter over the top. Add a few grinds of ground pepper and serve.

Least favorite? Hands down, the turkey.
Most favorite? Stuffing, cranberry salsa and dessert.
Least favorite: that green bean casserole nastiness and corn casserole and stuffing.
Most favorite: MIL's roast beef and my own pumpkin pie
And I made green beans like this a while back and absolutely loved them!!! I had no idea green beans could be any better than they already are!
Hi! I found your blog while searching for a different green bean recipe, but yours is pretty perfect - but I had a question. Do you steam the green beans before sauteeing with the bacon, or do you simply saute them to cook?
Thanks, and happy Thanksgiving!
