Sauteed Green Beans with Mushrooms, Onion, and Bacon

My husband’s favorite veggie side dish, fresh, sauteed green beans, bacon, mushrooms, onions, and Marsala wine.

Step: 1

Place green beans in a microwave-safe bowl and fill with enough water to cover the bottom of the bowl. Cover the bowl and steam in the microwave on high power for 2 minutes.

Step: 2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon slices to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving drippings in the pan.

Step: 3

Place mushrooms and onion into the pan with the bacon drippings. Cook over medium heat until mushrooms are nice and brown and onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and add garlic; allow garlic to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss in green beans; saute for about 3 minutes. Toss in green beans; saute for about 3 minutes.

Step: 4

Pour wine into the pan and give it a good stir to scrape up any brown bits off of the bottom of the pan. Add bacon to the pan, cover, and let cook until wine is completely absorbed, about 10 minutes.

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. If you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
