Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Bacon: Start by frying the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until it’s partially cooked. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes. You want it to be slightly browned but not fully crispy yet.
-
Add Onion: Once the bacon is partially cooked, add the diced onion to the skillet. Continue cooking until the bacon is browned and crispy, and the onion turns clear. This should take another 4-5 minutes.
-
Season with Vinegar and Salt: Next, add the red wine vinegar and 1 teaspoon of the seasoned salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes until most of the vinegar has cooked down.
-
Prepare Green Beans: While the bacon mixture is cooking, take a large saucepan and add the fresh green beans along with enough water to cover them. Cook covered over medium heat until the beans are tender yet still crisp, usually around 5-7 minutes. Be sure not to overcook them.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the green beans are cooked, do not drain them. Instead, add the bacon and onion mixture directly into the saucepan with the beans. Stir everything together, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed.
-
Final Touches: Cook the combined mixture uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until the excess liquid has reduced slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more seasoned salt if desired.
-
Serve: Your green beans and bacon dish is now ready to be served! Plate them up and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors. There should be just a hint of liquid left, adding to the overall succulence of the dish.
