Ingredients:

• 2 to 3 pounds of fresh green beans
• 8 slices of beef bacon
• 4 to 6 medium red potatoes
• ½ medium red onion
• 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups of chicken broth
• 2 tsp of sugar
• 1 tbsp of butter
• 1 tbsp of creole seasoning
• 1 tsp of salt
• 1 tsp of pepper

Directions:

Step 1

Cut the beef bacon slices into smaller pieces, then place a pot on a stove over medium-high heat, and cook the bacon until nice and crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon pieces to a plate or bowl lined with paper towels to drain off the excess oil, then using the same pan and the rendered grease of the bacon, cook the chopped onions, and reduce the heat setting to medium. Chop the potatoes into quarters, then add them to the onions, and give them a good stir.

Step 2

Season them with sugar, salt, pepper, and creole seasoning, then stir them all together until well mixed, and add the minced garlic and butter. Snap the beans in half or small pieces, then add them to the potatoes, and stir until combined. Now, add the cooked bacon pieces, then pour the broth or use bouillion dissolved in water, and mix them well. Cover the pot, then bring it to a boil, give it a good mix, then cover with the lid again, and let it simmer. Taste and adjust the flavor as needed, then serve, and enjoy!
