Green Beans and Potatoes

Country Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes with Bacon is a hearty, comforting dish that brings together tender green beans, golden potatoes, and crispy bacon in a creamy ranch seasoning. The ranch adds a creamy tang while the bacon provides a satisfying crunch, making this dish the perfect side to any meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup water
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
2. In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the cubed potatoes for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
3. Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet with the potatoes and stir. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the potatoes and green beans, then add the water. Stir to combine and cover the skillet. Let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are cooked through.
5. Once done, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the dish and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
