Southern Skillet Green Beans

Ingredients: 

6 slices of bacon

1 med onion, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

2 pounds of fresh green beans, trimmed and rinsed 

1 cup of chicken broth--plus more if needed

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat in a large skillet until the bacon is fully rendered.

Add onions and saute with bacon until transparent. Add garlic, cooking for 2 minutes more. Add 1 cup of chicken broth, stir well, de-glazing the pan. Add beans and apple cider vinegar, mix well. Reduce heat to low. Cover and continue to slow cook the green beans for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, making sure there is enough broth in the bottom of the pan so the beans don't get scorched. Add salt and pepper to taste.
