How to Make Easy Green Beans on a Stove Top

Aunt Lou here.

One of my favorite side dishes is green beans. I love them so much that I have been known to make up a can of green beans as a snack. While you may not love green beans as much as I do in general, I would bet that you will love this Easy Green Beans stove top recipe.

These can be thrown together in just a few minutes and cooks up in about 20 minutes, so it makes them great for a weeknight side dish. The flavor the bacon and butter gives to the beans is wonderful. It reminds me of the green beans Momma and Gramma used to make when I was a kid. They go great with pork, beef or chicken.

If you would rather crock these yummy green beans, you can find the crock pot version of this recipe here. I also have an instant pot version of this recipe. So no matter how you want to make this recipe, I have you covered!
