Pressure Cooker Southern-Style Green Beans and Bacon Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 slices bacon (or to taste), cut into 1-inch pieces
• cup diced onion (or to taste)
• 1 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
• 1 cup water
• 1 pinch garlic powder (or to taste)
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Place bacon pieces into a pressure cooker and cook over medium-high heat. Turn occasionally until the bacon is evenly browned, about 8 minutes.
2. Add the diced onion and saut for 1 minute, stirring occasionally to combine with the bacon fat.
3. Next, add the trimmed green beans to the cooker. Toss them well, ensuring they are coated in the bacon grease.
4. Pour in 1 cup of water and stir to combine. This will help the green beans cook evenly in the pressure cooker.
5. Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and place the pressure regulator over the vent, following the manufacturers instructions.
6. Heat the pressure cooker until steam escapes in a steady flow, about 5 minutes.
7. Once steam is flowing consistently, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
8. Let the pressure release naturally, which may take about 5 to 10 minutes, following the manufacturer's instructions.
9. Unlock the lid carefully, remove it, and season the dish with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
10. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful green beans with bacon!
