SIMPLE INGREDIENTS

Green Beans

Key Ingredient

1. Gather your ingredients and tools. The first step is to gather the ingredients you need to make the process even faster. Get a large skillet out, and prepare an ice water bath for when the green beans are done cooking.

PREP 

2. Place the green beans in a large saucepan filled with water that has been salted. The salt will help flavor the green beans and also help the green beans retain their bright green color. Boil for 3-5 minutes or until they are crisp tender.

BLANCHE THE BEANS

3. While the green beans are cooking, start cooking your bacon. Stir them occasionally until they are starting to become crisp.
