Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans, washed with ends snapped

1 teaspoon bacon drippings

1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix (dry)

3 tablespoons chopped cooked crisp bacon pieces

Preparation

Heat oven to 425°. Combine green beans with bacon drippings, Parmesan cheese and Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix. Toss to combine. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, or until deep green and tender crisp.

For a richer, nuttier flavor, continue to cook for an additional 5 - 10 minutes. The color of the beans will look like the photo below.
