Almond Bacon Green Beans are a great side dish to most any meal. It’s full of great flavor that will be a hit with your family.
Amy from My Name is Snickerdoodle here! I’ve been trying to focus more on menu planning and getting myself organized when it came to making dinners for my family. Sometimes it’s such a struggle to think of new dishes that you think your loved ones will like. I was putting a lot of emphasis on the main course and really giving no thought to making the side dishes a little extra special.
I usually try to give my family a balanced meal and have some sort of vegetables and these Almond Bacon Green Beans are a favorite around here. I mean, there’s bacon in it so you really can’t go wrong, right?
It’s a great accompaniment to chicken, beef or pork so that is a win in my book. I like to serve it with rotisserie chicken and my yummy Cheesy Ranch Potatoes.
It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this pretty incredible vegetable dish and will add a little surprise to dinner time!
