This can be served as a light meal or a side dish.

Green Beans and Potatoes

Ingredients

• 5 strips turkey bacon, sliced
• 1/4 cup onion, chopped
• 6 medium potatoes, quartered
• 2 pounds fresh whole green beans, ends trimmed
• 1/2 teaspoon winter savory (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• water (enough to cover)

Preparation

On the stovetop, heat a stock pot over medium heat. 
Add the sliced bacon and brown. 
Add the onion and cook until slightly brown.
Add the potatoes, green beans, winter savory (optional), salt and pepper to the pot.
Add just enough water to cover.
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
After 30 minutes, remove the lid, stir gently and cook for 15-30 minutes longer uncovered. This will allow the potatoes and beans to finish cooking while the juice cooks down a bit.

Serves 6

Regular bacon can be used... we just like the taste and price of turkey bacon.
