Bacon & Almond Green Beans

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is this week! I don’t know about you guys, but time is FLYING by over here! It seems like every week goes by so fast and I can’t believe it’s almost December…Ahhh crazy. Today I have a yummy side dish for you all! Anybody like fresh green beans?! If so, you will love these! I have been craving fresh green beans for the last couple of weeks, and have made them a few different ways. This has been one of my favorites so far:)

Ingredients:

12 ounces resh green beans
5 slices of turkey bacon
1 ounce sliced almonds
1/4 red onion, diced
1 TBSP olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4-1/2 tsp salt (salt to your preference)
1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

In a non-greased skillet, cook turkey bacon for 6-7 minutes over medium heat. When finished, take bacon out and place on plate covered with paper towels. Without draining any of the juices from the bacon, place onions into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Add olive oil, green beans, salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook 5-7 minutes, or until green beans reach desired crispness. Add bacon and almonds, cook for another 1-2 minutes, and voila! You’ve got a yummy side dish!
