Country Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes with Bacon

Instructions:

Cook the Bacon:

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pan. 

Sauté the Aromatics:

In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. 

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. 

Cook the Potatoes:

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to brown slightly, about 5-7 minutes. 

Add Green Beans and Seasonings:

Stir in the green beans, ranch seasoning mix, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. 

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. 

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and green beans are tender. 

Finish the Dish:

Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the cooked bacon. 

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. 

Serve:

Serve the Country Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes hot as a hearty side dish. 

This dish is perfect for a comforting side and pairs well with a variety of main courses. Enjoy!
