Onion Soup Mix Green Beans 'n Potatoes with Bacon

Onion Soup Mix Green Beans 'n Potatoes with Bacon

Ingredients

  • 1/2 stick butter (4 Tbl.)
  • 1 small sweet onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 large regular red or medium russet potato, unpeeled, diced into 1/2 - 3/4"
  • 1/4 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
  • 3 strips crisp-cooked bacon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp. finely minced garlic, one clove (I just use my garlic press for this)
  • 1 (very slightly rounded) Tbl. dry Onion Soup and Dips Mix (or a little more to taste if you like but add slowly)
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can green beans, drained
  • more pepper to taste
  • *salt only if desired after tasting

Instructions

  • In medium saucepan or small frying pan, melt butter. Add onion, potatoes and pepper. Sauté over medium/medium-low heat until potatoes are fork tender. (I like to cover with a lid and stir every so often.) Takes about 15 minutes.
  • Add bacon, garlic, and Onion Soup Mix. Stir in well.
  • Fold in green beans and heat through, simmering, stirring gently and occasionally so that you don't wreck them. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes. (*This will help to fully rehydrate the dried onions in the mix).
  • Add pepper to taste. Add salt* only if desired. *Keep in mind that mixes are salty.
