Description

This recipe is great to make when you don't have much time but still want a delicious side dish. It's so simple to prepare plus you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand.

Ingredients

• 4 T. stick butter
• 1 small sweet onion, cut into thin wedges
• 1 medium regular red potato, unpeeled, 1/2 - 3/4" dice
• ¼ t. freshly ground black pepper
• 3 strips crisply cooked bacon, thinly sliced
• ½ t. finely minced garlic, from 1 small clove
• 1 T. dry Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing or Dips Mix
• 14.5 oz. can green beans, drained*
• black pepper, to taste
• salt, if desired after tasting

Steps

1. In medium saucepan or small skillet, melt butter; add onion and potato; season with black pepper. Cover; sauté over medium heat until potatoes are fork tender, stirring occasionally. Add bacon, garlic, and Ranch mix; stir.
2. Fold in green beans; heat through, simmering, occasionally stirring very gently. Season with black pepper, to taste. Add salt only if needed, since the Ranch Mixes are very salty.
3. 4 servings.
