Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans rinsed and trimmed
8 slices bacon
1 medium onion diced
5 cloves garlic minced
1 russet potato peeled and diced
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Add the trimmed green beans to the slow cooker. (I like to cut mine in half)
Cut bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Add the onions into the bacon grease and saute until soft about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant about 30 seconds.
Add sauteed onions and garlic and bacon grease to the green beans. Followed by the diced potatoes.
Pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes if desired. Give the green beans a toss. Cover.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours or until desired tenderness.
Add salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle cooked bacon on top and serve.
