Ingredients:
- 8 slices bacon

- 1-2 cups hot water
- 4 chicken bouillon cubes
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 4 pounds green beans
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Sautรฉ Bacon: Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and sautรฉ for about 2 minutes, or until they start to brown slightly. |
| 2 | Add Onions: Add the diced onions to the pan with the bacon. Stirring often, cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the onions are translucent and fragrant. |
| 3 | Incorporate Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, allowing it to soften and release its aroma, about 1 minute. Be careful not to let the garlic brown. |
| 4 | Remove from Heat: Take the pan off the heat just before the bacon becomes too crisp. |
| 5 | Prepare Broth: In the same pan, dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes in the hot water, creating a flavorful broth. |
| 6 | Season Beans: Add the granulated sugar and white pepper to the broth, stirring until fully combined. Then, add the green beans to the pan, along with the bacon and onion mixture. |
| 7 | Cover with Water: Pour in additional hot water, ensuring that it just covers the beans. This will help them cook evenly. |
| 8 | Bake: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the green beans are tender yet still slightly crisp. Stir the beans once during cooking to ensure even cooking. |
| 9 | Serve: Once the beans are done, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the green beans to a serving dish, leaving any excess liquid behind. Serve hot and enjoy the savory goodness! |
Tips:
- For a vegetarian version, you can omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken bouillon cubes.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add more or less sugar and pepper to suit your palate.
- Make sure not to overcook the green beans, as they should retain some crispness for the perfect texture.
