Servings: 5 Adults
Ingredients
- 3 cups green beans
- 4 strips bacon
- 2 garlic cloves
- dash lemon juice

Instructions
- Start to boil a pot of water (this will used to blanch the beans)
- Meanwhile, chop the beans, dice the garlic and slice the bacon into small strips.
- Cook the bacon in a cast iron skillet/ pan. Remove the bacon and place on a plate with a paper-towel. The paper-towel will soak up all the excess fat. Set aside.
- One the pot of boiling water has come to a rolling boil, place the beans in the pot for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a bowl with cold water and ice.
- Cook the garlic in the cast iron/ pan with the bacon grease for only a minute or so. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Then add the green beans (strain them from the ice water bath) and cook for a minute. Lastly, stir in the bacon pieces, add a dash of lemon juice and cook for another minute or two. Add salt and pepper then Enjoy!
