Fry the bacon in a dutch oven or a large pot; drain on a paper towel, reserving 3-4 T. bacon grease. Add the onion to the same pot; cook 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the green beans, chicken stock, 1 t. granulated garlic, and 1/2 t. kosher salt; stir; cover. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, sprinkle the green beans with 1/2 t. granulated garlic. Arrange the potatoes over the green beans. Dot with butter; sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. Cover; simmer 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Stir gently; transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the green beans and potatoes.
