Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 ½ pounds baby potatoes (red or Yukon gold), halved or quartered
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the Potatoes:
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Green Beans:
In the same pot, bring water to a boil and cook the green beans for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Bacon:
While the veggies are cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon and crumble it. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet.
Make the Ranch Butter:
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch seasoning, and minced garlic.
Combine Everything:
In the skillet with the reserved bacon grease, toss the cooked potatoes, green beans, and crumbled bacon. Pour the ranch butter mixture over everything and gently toss to coat.
Serve
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
