Ranch Green Beans Potatoes W Bacon Recipe 455

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or medium Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until it has rendered most of its fat and has begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pan and simmer until the beans are very tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to keep the beans covered. As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.

Steps:

• Drain the beans and beans & potatoes in a colander then rinse under cold tap water; set aside to drain well. Cut up onion and garlic and set aside. Cook bacon; drain on paper towels then cut or tear into small pieces. Set aside. In a large, deep skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté just until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Increase heat to medium-high; add the beans and potatoes and let cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes then use an egg turner or similar spatula to flip the mixture over so you don't wreck the beans and potatoes. Cook down until almost all the liquid is gone, flipping occasionally to prevent scorching. When liquid is almost out, sprinkle the dry Ranch mix and black pepper over the top and flip over a couple of times to combine. Just before beans are finished cooking, add the bacon (or you can wait until serving and use it to garnish the top). (I put half of it in the beans and garnished top with other half). Taste and add salt only if needed since the bacon and Ranch mix are salty.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Cover and refrigerate bacon until serving., In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in reserved drippings. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until potatoes are tender. Stir in bacon; heat through.

Steps:

• In medium saucepan or small frying pan, melt butter. Add onion, potato and pepper. Sauté over medium heat until potatoes are fork tender. (I like to cover with a lid and stir every so often.)

Add salt only if desired. *Ranch Mixes are salty.
