Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed off
• 1/2 pound bacon, diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced  

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the green beans into a pot of boiling, salted water for abut 5 minutes. Drain and dunk into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain well. 
2. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon.
3. Melt the butter in the same skillet (do not drain bacon grease). Add the onion and cook until caramelized, about 6-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. 
4. Add the green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring, until they get a little color on them, about 5 minutes. Add bacon and serve.
