A flavorful twist on classic green beans, enhanced with smoky bacon and a touch of sweetness.
Prepare the green beans by washing and trimming the ends.
Trimming the ends ensures even cooking and a better texture.
In a large saucepan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy.
Cooking the bacon first allows its fat to render, adding flavor to the dish.
Add the green beans to the saucepan with the bacon and stir to coat.
Stirring ensures the green beans are evenly coated with the bacon fat.
Pour in the water, add the salt and sugar, and bring to a simmer.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before simmering.
Cover the saucepan and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld and the green beans to become tender.
Serve the green beans warm as a side dish.
Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for added flavor.
