Southern Green Beans with Bacon
Ingredients
  • 3 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced onion, or to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by adding the bacon to a pressure cooker and cook over an elevated heat setting, stirring periodically until it reaches a uniform brown color, approximately 8 minutes. Next, introduce the onions and cook for 1 minute to allow them to soften slightly.
2
Then, add the green beans and mix until they are evenly coated in the bacon's rendered fat. After that, pour in water to cover the ingredients.
3
Close the pressure cooker securely and position the pressure regulator over the vent, following the manufacturer's specific guidelines for this process. Continue to heat until a steady flow of steam escapes, around 5 minutes.
4
Subsequently, decrease the heat to a lower setting and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally, as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions, taking around 5 to 10 minutes.
5
Once the pressure has released, unlock the lid and remove the contents. Finally, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to enhance the dish's flavor.
