Texas Roadhouse Green Beans

from ButterYum

makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients

    • 2 cans cut green beans, well drained

    • 4 ounces uncooked bacon, cut into bite-size pieces

    • 4 ounces white or yellow onion, chopped

    • 2 cups water

    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (see note below)

    • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

    1. In a glass measure, combine the water, sugar, and white pepper; stir well and set aside until needed.

    2. In a 10-inch skillet, cook bacon, stirring frequently, until a brick red color is achieved; without draining away the bacon drippings, ad the onions and continue cooking until translucent.

    3. Add the water mixture and canned green beans; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Note

    • I don’t recall the beans being sweet when we had them at the restaurant so I think you could reduce the sugar in half (or eliminate it completely) without negatively affecting the recipe.
