What's one foolproof way to get your family interested in eating green beans? Add ranch seasoning and bacon! These tender yet crispy green beans are rich with ranch flavor, and the cooked bacon pieces add just the right amount of texture. If you want to avoid bacon but keep the crunch, replace the meat with slivered almonds. If you have the time, sauté the green beans with finely diced onion for added depth of flavor.
