Texas Roadhouse Green Beans Recipe

Texas Roadhouse Green Beans Recipe


  • Author: Skyar
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups canned green beans, drained (or fresh green beans, trimmed)
  • 4 strips of bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

In a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once crispy, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.

Step 2: Sauté the Onion and Garlic

Add the diced onion to the bacon grease and sauté until softened and translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Add the Green Beans

Pour in the drained green beans and stir well to coat them in the bacon grease, onions, and garlic mixture.

Step 4: Create the Flavorful Broth

Add the chicken broth, brown sugar, butter, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: Simmer and Serve

Let the green beans simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they absorb the flavors and become tender. Return the crispy bacon to the pan, stir, and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
