Ingredients
6 thick slices bacon chopped
1/2 cup onions minced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
1 cup water

Directions
Place bacon in a large deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until the fat begins to render. Stir in onions and garlic; let cook for 1 minute. Stir in beans and water.
