- 4 oz of finely diced yellow onion
- 4 oz of uncooked bacon chopped into small pieces
- 2 16 oz cans of tender green beans, drained
- 2 cups of filtered water
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon. Let it cook until crispy, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally. This will release a charming aroma that fills your kitchen.
Once the bacon is crispy, add the diced yellow onion to the skillet. The onions should be translucent and softened after about 3 to 4 minutes. This step brings out their natural sweetness.
Next, pour in the drained green beans. Stir well to combine everything.
Now, add the filtered water, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir all the ingredients together. The sugar will help caramelize the mixture and enhance its flavor.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and allow it to simmer uncovered for about 10 to 15 minutes. This step helps the flavors mingle effectively while keeping the beans tender.
Once done, give it a taste. Adjust seasoning if needed. Then, serve the green beans hot as a delightful side dish.
