Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon, chopped

2. Step 2: Add the diced onion and butter to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

Tips & Variations

• If you prefer fresh green beans, blanch 1 pound of trimmed beans before adding them to the skillet instead of canned.
• Swap Montreal seasoning for Cajun seasoning for a different flavor profile.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Avoid overcooking during reheating to keep the beans firm.

FAQs

Can I use frozen green beans instead of canned?

Yes, frozen green beans can be used. Thaw them first and adjust the simmering time slightly as frozen beans may release more water.

Is Montreal seasoning necessary?

While it adds a distinctive flavor, you can substitute it with a mix of garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika if you don’t have it on hand.
