Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds green beans, washed and trimmed
2 slices bacon
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1 ounce goat cheese, crumbled
salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside but leave the grease in the pan.
Add the green beans to the pan with the bacon grease. Saute for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally until the green beans start to "char". At this point, cover the skillet with a lid and let steam for another 5-7 minutes.
Remove the lid, add the cranberries and saute for another 2-3 minutes until the cranberries are warmed through and starting to wrinkle.
Plate the beans with the cranberries, crumble the goat cheese and bacon on top and season with salt & pepper.
