How to cook deliciously - Keto Smothered Green Beans

1. Stage

Cook bacon in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and add enough butter to equal 2 tablespoons of fat in the skillet.

2. Stage

Add green beans to the skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with garlic powder, toss to coat, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add water to help steam the beans. Continue cooking until water has evaporated and beans are crisp-tender or cooked to your liking, 3 to 4 more minutes.

3. Stage

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

4. Stage

Top beans with shredded Cheddar cheese and sprinkle with cooked bacon.

5. Stage

Place skillet under broiler until cheese has melted, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
