Southern Green Beans

• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 
  
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 
  
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 
  
• 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
• 
  
• 8 small new potatoes, diced
• 
  
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 
  
• 1/4 cup chicken broth (or white wine is what I use)
• 
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar

• salt and pepper to taste

Place the chopped bacon in a skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring 

occasionally, until evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon pieces on a 

paper towel-lined plate.

Melt the butter in a skillet with a lid over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the 

onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked bacon, green beans, 

potatoes, garlic, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low 

heat until the green beans are tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with vinegar, 

salt and pepper then serve.
