2 lb Green bean, rinsed, ends trimmed
1 cup Chicken stock, or low-sodium broth or water
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat and cook the bacon until well browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in the beans.

Uncover, season with the salt and pepper and toss. Cover and cook until tender, 1 or 2 minutes longer.
