Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

GREEN BEANS – Opt for fresh green beans instead of frozen for this recipe. Be sure to trim the ends off. In a pinch, you can get away with using frozen beans but be sure you allow them to thaw first and thoroughly pat them dry before beginning.

BACON – Center-cut bacon is definitely our go-to here. You’ll want it to be thick-cut. The tenderness of the bacon pairs really well with the crisp beans.

SEASONING – We chose Montreal steak seasoning, but your favorite combination of seasonings will also work just fine.
