Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Green Beans and Potatoes with Bacon Recipe
  1. Begin by placing a large skillet over medium heat and adding diced bacon. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
  2. In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
  3. Incorporate the trimmed green beans and halved baby potatoes into the skillet. Stir well to coat in flavors and cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, and sprinkle in the ranch seasoning mix, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir everything together and increase the heat until gently boiling.
  5. Return the crispy bacon to the skillet, mixing it well with the veggies and broth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
