There are so many ways to prepare your green beans and spice them up. This right here is just one of the ways. You can enjoy these with roasted meat as a light lunch or supper. You could also add a bit of starch if you wish, be it rice, pasta or potatoes. They’ll be a winner. If you don’t take bacon you can omit it altogether.
