Cut Green Beans

Steps

  1. Cook the bacon: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to render its fat and starts to crisp around the edges, about 6–7 minutes.

  2. Add the onion: Stir in the diced onion and continue cooking until the bacon is browned and the onion is softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add tomato paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

  4. Add green beans and seasoning: Add the Green Valley Organic Cut Green Beans, smoked paprika, kosher salt, pepper, and ½ cup water. Stir to combine.

  5. Simmer: Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.

  6. Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a smoky, savory side dish.
