Southern Green Beans with Bacon
- Chop bacon 3 and cook in a pot over medium until the fat renders and the pieces start to brown, about ⏲ 5 minutes. Add bacon fat 15 g.
- Add canned green beans 800 g with about half of their liquid. Less liquid is better. You want them to braise, not swim.
- Season with onion powder 2 g, garlic powder 2 g, and black pepper. Hold the salt until the end, since canned beans and bacon are both salty.
- Bring to a boil, then drop to a steady simmer, uncovered, for ⏲ 20–30 minutes, until the liquid has mostly cooked down and the beans are soft and glossy with bacon fat. Taste and add salt only if needed.
