Green Beans Almondine Recipe with bacon

Using only a few ingredients, but these ingredients do wonders for enhancing the flavor of green beans!

I'm talking bacon (um ... of course!), thyme, and garlic along with the mandatory ingredients of green beans, almonds, salt, and pepper. That's it!

You will be cooking the green beans in the bacon fat, and it's all done in one skillet in about 30 minutes. A total WIN no matter what the occasion!
