- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes and Green Beans
Start by placing your cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook until just tender, about 8-10 minutes. For the last 2 minutes of cooking, add in the trimmed green beans. Afterward, drain the vegetables and set them aside.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it is crispy. Once done, scoop out the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Keep the bacon drippings in the skillet for added flavor.
Step 3: Sauté Onion and Garlic
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion turns translucent and your kitchen is filled with a delightful aroma.
Step 4: Combine Ingredients
Stir in the drained potatoes and green beans into the skillet. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the vegetables, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss everything to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed.
Step 5: Add Bacon and Heat Through
Top the mixture with the crispy bacon bits. Allow everything to cook together for a few more minutes until heated through, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes with Bacon warm, garnished with a sprinkle of love, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious dish.
