Stovetop Green Beans

Directions

Ingredients :

10 slices bacon

chopped

1 onion

chopped

6 cloves garlic

3 pounds trimmed fresh green beans

1 cup water

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

½ cup dry bread crumbs

or to taste

1 ½ cups shredded Italian cheese blend

Methods :

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until some of the fat renders into the pan, about 5 minutes. Stir onion and garlic into the bacon and continue cooking until the bacon is crisp and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes more.

Stir green beans, water, vinegar, salt, and pepper into the bacon; cook at a simmer until the liquid is mostly evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with bread crumbs and cheese; stir gently.
