Place a dutch oven on a stove over medium-high heat, then add the bacon, and cook for about 5 minutes or until nice and crispy.  Remove the bacon and leave the rendered bacon grease, then set it aside until later. In the same dutch oven, add the onion and garlic, then give them a nice toss, and saute for about 2 minutes before adding the green beans. After adding the beans, pour the water and chicken broth, then stir them together, and bring to a light boil.
