Snap off both stem ends of green beans.; rinse; drain.
Melt bacon grease in a skillet over medium low heat; add garlic and onions; cook 1 minute. Add green beans; cook 1 minute until beans turn bright green. Add the chicken stock/broth, chopped red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Turn heat to low; cover with a lid, leaving lid cracked to allow steam to escape.
Cook 20 - 30 minutes or until liquid evaporates and beans are fairly soft, but still a bit crisp. Add more chicken stock/broth during the cooking process, but don’t be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can caramelize.
