Cook up a batch of southern green beans in a skillet in just minutes. This keto-friendly recipe uses bacon, onion, and garlic and only has 4g net carbs! Southern foods are the epitome of comfort foods, and few things are as comforting as bacon. I love finding new recipes that use bacon.
This low carb bean salad makes a perfect keto side dish for meat, fish or poultry. It’s also a great bring along dish for a potluck or picnic. We eat this salad fresh from the garden all summer long! I love keeping a bowl of this bean salad in the fridge. The flavors only get better the longer it’s in the fridge.
Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking at a simmer until the beans are tender, about 30 minutes more. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.
Put red beans in a large pot with enough water to cover by several inches. Soak 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse beans. Pour hot water into the pot.
