These are green beans like your grandma used to make, just a little kicked up.
Ingredients
  • 3 thick pieces of bacon
  • 2 pounds of fresh haricot verts, ends trimmed and cut in half
  • 2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon until crispy in a large pan. Remove bacon and dice. Set aside.
  2. Place leftover bacon fat* in slow cooker and add all ingredients except butter/ghee in your slow.
  3. Set slow cooker to high and cook for 5 hours.
  4. Add in diced bacon and butter/ghee. Cook on low for 1 hour.
  5. Serve warm or store until your ready to eat it!
Notes
*This is super easy to do in just one pot if you have a slow cooker that has a removable insert that can cook directly on the stove. I have one like this and it's SO easy.
