Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Dan-O's Cajun
- ½ pound bacon
- 2 medium shallots, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced plus 1 tbsp minced
- 2 pounds green beans, trimmed
- 32 oz chicken stock
Preparation Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot, cut bacon in small pieces and cook the bacon over medium-high heat until bacon starts to become crispy and then leave the rendered fat in the pan.
- Add the fresh minced garlic and diced shallots to the skillet with the bacon. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally until fragrant.
Stir in the trimmed green beans, ensuring they are well coated with the fresh minced garlic and shallots. - Pour in the chicken stock, followed by the Dan-O's Cajun. Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook uncovered. This allows the flavors to concentrate as the broth reduces.
- Let the green beans cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the broth has cooked out.
- Finally, add the remaining tablespoon of the garlic to the pot, stirring well to incorporate.
- Once cooked to your desired tenderness, remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your Cajun green beans with bacon!
