Southern Green Beans with Bacon

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a large dutch oven or pot until crisp then drain on a paper towel lined plate. Cut into pieces.

Step 2

Reserve the grease and add the beans, water, broth, garlic powder, seasoning salt and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the beans are tender. Drain the beans into a strainer and return the pot to the stove top.

Step 3

Add the butter and almonds to the pot and cook over medium heat, swirling the pot, until the butter becomes golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma.

Step 4

Stir the beans and bacon into the butter and heat through, making sure to coat everything with the butter. Serve warm. Enjoy!
