This Green Bean Recipe is absolutely delicious, and it happens to be Keto-friendly. Made from fresh green beans, it adds the crunch of bacon, the flavor of onion, and the creaminess of sour cream for the perfect combination. If you're looking for a Thanksgiving side dish, or want a vegetable that even your pickiest eaters will eat, this is it.
After trimming the ends off the fresh green beans, cut to desired size or leave long, and place in boiling water for no more than 10 minutes. (This will make them more tender, but you don't want to fully cook them.)
Cut bacon into small pieces and fry in large skillet until crispy. Remove bacon from frying pan and place on paper towels to allow excess oil to drain. Remove some, but not all, of the bacon grease from the frying pan. (This will add additional bacon flavor when cooking grean beans, but you'll likely need to add a little olive oil to it for frying.)
After green beans have boiled for 10 minutes, drain water and place green beans into skillet with bacon grease & olive oil. Cook over medium high heat, adding chopped onion, bacon pieces, and two to three heaping Tablespoons of sour cream. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Remove from stove and enjoy!
