Parmesan Green Beans is a super side dish that uses fresh green beans with bacon, parmesan cheese and ranch dressing mix added in for a bold flavor.
Fresh green beans are the best. When you saute’ the green beans they still have a nice crunch when you bite into them. They are even better when you add some bacon (bacon makes everything taste better). I like the combination of parmesan cheese and ranch dressing mix, they compliment each other very well.
Cook the bacon first, then scoop out the bacon out and add in the green beans. I think the reason these taste so good is the fact that you cook the green beans in the bacon fat. They also taste good because of the parmesan cheese and ranch dressing mix.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon cut into bite size pieces
- 1 lb fresh green beans, washed with ends snapped
- 3 tbsp. Parmesan cheese (I recommend Kraft Parmesan Cheese)
- 2 tbsp. Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix (dry)
Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium high heat and add the pieces of bacon, fry until crisp. Remove the bacon and leave the bacon grease in the pan. Add the green beans and cook 5-7 minutes or until green beans are bright in color. Stir in the parmesan cheese and ranch mix. Stir continuously for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese and mix has coated the beans. Transfer the beans to a bowl and toss in the bacon pieces.
