Description
A flavorful side dish inspired by Texas Roadhouse’s famous green beans, cooked with bacon, onion, and garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of bacon (chopped)
- ½ cup diced white onion
- 2 (16-ounce) cans green beans (drained and rinsed)
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often.
- Add diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the green beans, chicken broth, garlic, butter, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let simmer until green beans are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Adjust seasoning as needed, then transfer the green beans to a serving dish or individual portions and serve warm.
Notes
- Green Beans: Texas Roadhouse uses canned green beans, but fresh or frozen can be used with a different flavor and texture.
- Salt: If using regular chicken broth, taste before adding salt.
