Green Beans with a Twist

Green Beans with a Twist Green Beans with a Twist A simple, yummy way to prepare green beans! You could use canned or frozen green beans, but I do think fresh is best. The dish looks really festive with the bacon sprinkled on top! 4 bacon strips, chopped 1 package (32-ounces) fresh green beans 2 tablespoons butter 1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix In a large pan (I use my cast iron Dutch oven), sauté bacon until crisp. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and drain. Add butter and beans to bacon drippings. Sauté beans about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until beans reach desired tenderness. Sprinkle beans with dressing mix; toss to coat.  Just before serving, sprinkle with bacon.
