Directions
-
In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. This step brings tremendous flavor as the fat renders and creates a lovely base for the dish. Remove the crispy bacon and set it aside, keeping the drippings in the pot.
-
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté them until the onion becomes translucent, which should take about 3-5 minutes. The tremendous aroma of onions and garlic cooking together adds depth to the flavor profile.
-
Stir in the baby potatoes, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring every potato is coated with the incredible seasonings.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat and cover the pot. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. The steam will work wonders in softening the potatoes, making them creamy and delicious.
-
Add the green beans to the pot and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp. This step is crucial; you want the green beans to maintain their crunch, adding a fantastic texture to the dish.
-
If using, drizzle with olive oil and give it a gentle stir to combine. The olive oil will enhance the overall richness of the dish.
-
Serve warm, topped with the crispy bacon you set aside earlier. The bacon adds a delightful crunch that perfectly complements the soft potatoes and crisp green beans.
