Instructions:
-
Parboil the Beans:
- Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil.

Prepare the Bacon:
- Slice the bacon into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large skillet, start frying the bacon slices over low heat. Allow them to cook slowly to render their fat and achieve a crispy texture.

Add Mushrooms and Garlic:
- Once the bacon begins to release its fat, add the mushrooms and garlic cloves to the skillet.
- Stir everything together and continue frying until the mushrooms are cooked through, which should take approximately 8-10 minutes.
- As the mushrooms cook, their aroma will fill your kitchen, tempting your taste buds!
-
Infuse with Aromatics:
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove the garlic cloves from the skillet. This step ensures a subtle garlic flavor without overpowering the dish.
-
Combine Green Beans:

- Gently toss everything together, allowing the flavors to meld deliciously.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
