Green Beans & Bacon

I don't like traditional green bean casserole. It's not my favorite. I found this recipe a few years and I like it SO much better for a green bean side dish.

Original Recipe from Hidden Valley

INGREDIENTS

1 pound fresh string beans trimmed

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing

• 4 slices bacon (or turkey bacon), cooked, crumbled

DIRECTIONS

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add string beans, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the beans in a colander and immediately pour cold water over them, which will help set the green color and prevent them from cooking further. {I usually buy the steam packages of beans and just steam them!}

• Toss the beans with the olive oil.

• Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the green beans and ranch dressing to the pan and saute the mixture for approximately 3-5 minutes, until crisp tender.

• Toss the crumbled bacon into the dish right before you serve it, so that the bacon stays crisp.
