Green Beans and Bacon

We have been wrapped up in watching the Olympics on TV lately.

I really enjoy all the games, especially ice skating, and snowboarding. I try to watch all the events, but  it's close to impossible to catch every single game.

They started out with a glitch! But it still was very beautiful.

I loved her hat! Her work uniform is awesome:)

The snowboarding event was so awesome!

This is how my son watches the Olympic's

(Semi-interested) 

Not a great night for some of the skaters, but we're still

Rooting for the home team:)

We had dinner tonight and the side dish of green beans and bacon was on!

I am embarrassed to admit that I have been eating while watching the games lately.

But it's only once every two years right? 

So here is to a wonderful dinner and here is to team USA!

1 can of green beans

1/2 cup sliced onion

1/2 pound bacon chopped to 1 inch pieces

1 clove minced garlic

1/4 Teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper to taste 

Begin by cooking bacon on med-high heat, until crisp but somewhat soft. Remove bacon and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from pan, then return pan to stove. Add onion to the pan and let it get a bit browned and translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add garlic and crushed pepper. Cook garlic for only a minute, so not to burn, then quickly add green beans and cook for about 2 minutes then add bacon and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute or two, then transfer from heat to a serving dish.
