Step 1

Heat a Dutch oven or large pot on medium high heat. Add the pieces of bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bacon crisps.

Step 2

Drain the excess fat from the pot. I reserved about a teaspoon of fat in the pot.

Step 3

Add the onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth and deglaze the pot with a spatula. Scrap up all the bits of cooked bacon in the pot.

Step 5

Add in green beans, Creole seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Stir.

Step 6

Reduce heat to Low. Cover and cook for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours until the green beans are soft. If it's your first time making the dish, check in on the green beans often to be sure they reach your desired texture and you don't overcook them. Cook time will vary greatly based on the type of pot you use. Using my Dutch Oven, the beans reach my desired texture after an hour.

Step 7

Taste repeatedly and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 8

Serve with a slotted spoon.
