Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon (chopped)
- 1 onion (sliced thinly)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- salt and pepper
- 2 lbs green beans

Instructions
- In a large skillet with a lid, cook bacon until crisp, 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of grease. Add sliced onions, sugar and salt and pepper and cook until onion is soft and has started to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add green beans and stir to combine. At water, garlic and salt. Increase heat to medium high and cover, stirring occasionally until the water has evaporated and beans are slightly soft, about 5-8 minutes.
