Country Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes with Bacon 





Ingredients:
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces 

4 cups baby potatoes (or 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced) 

6 slices bacon, chopped 

1 onion, diced 

2 cloves garlic, minced 

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix 

1 cup chicken broth 

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary 

Salt and pepper, to taste 

2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, if needed) 

Instructions:
Cook the Bacon:
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pan. 



Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. 



Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. 



Cook the Potatoes:
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to brown slightly, about 5-7 minutes. 



Add Green Beans and Seasonings:
Stir in the green beans, ranch seasoning mix, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. 



Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. 



Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and green beans are tender. 

Finish the Dish:
Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the cooked bacon. 



Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. 



Serve:
Serve the Country Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes hot as a hearty side dish. 

This dish is perfect for a comforting side and pairs well with a variety of main courses. Enjoy!
