A Must Have Side Dish

Green Beans

You need;
Green Beans (portion depending on who you're feeding)
Unsalted butter
Bacon strips
A deep sided baking dish. I use an oven safe glass dish.

This is SO simple and SO good.

First give your bacon a quick fry to get them started. I think they are easier to chop once they've cooked a little. Then, chop each piece into small cubes. Put aside.

You can use fresh or frozen green beans in this dish. Pop the beans into your dish, add a few chunks of butter. Say one chunk for every serving. Add your bacon. Mix it about with your hands. You can add more butter later if you feel it looks dry. Season with rock salt and ground mixed pepper.

That's it! Pop it in the oven at 180C. Check after 10 - 15 mins and give it a mix. You may want to add some more butter. Once the butter is melted and the beans are soft it's done.
