now let me go ahead and snap put them in here and then we getting ready to get cooking now look when it comes to snapping green beans this part is totally up to you it depends on how long they are how big extremely I mean green beans that you like you know some of them are gonna be you know so long you can break them into thirds but either way you know half and do this part is totally up to you all right look now that I'm done with that you can see it's up to you what size you'd like them to be you know I got them all different sizes but all of them been snapped you know what they already been cleaned already so now we're getting ready to move on to the next thing now for the amount of green beans and I'm using I got six slices of bacon right here this would be just enough you know this'll work just fine I don't have to open this pack but again don't forget look down in the description box below for the full ingredient list and how many people that serves and all of that all right for this part right here all you want to do is you just want to cut your bacon you want to cut it in maybe like 1-inch strips where the main thing is we want to get that flavor right so I'll just take it like this and we'll just cut it down drop it right into your pot after we get through cut knees then we're gonna go ahead and just put it put it on the fire and we getting ready to start rendering this some fat and some flavor y'all know what I'm doing right here is just separating it that's all now that's what it looks like yeah I just want to say I know it's super easy you know what we just got to do it you guys got a video guy we're gonna follow it but right now we from the follow this pot right over here to this stove and we friend to get it in okay so now we on the stove we can just go ahead and light this up I'm gonna start with like a medium-high heat and we're getting ready to render you guys now meanwhile while you're baking is you know rendering down and you find your bacon now it's a good time to go ahead and cut your potatoes you want to cut them in half and then you want a quarter to half you want all of all your potatoes to be the right size so they all be finished cooking at the same time now this right here is the way I like to see my you know my bacon look I don't want to go too hard I don't want it super crispy I like it to have you know if you have that little elasticity to it so what I'm gonna do is reduce this down a little bit reduce this down to like a low now we're gonna take this out and what we want to do is we want to leave that bacon grease in there and then for those of you guys you know I mean because I know everybody does need pork you know what you can get yourself some kind of turkey bacon or something like that and render what you can off of that and that is starting that'll be your base just want to put it on a you know a plate lined with some paper so it can absorb some of the grease off of this right here that's all and to be honest with you and now that I said that it's okay if you have some grease on that now remember the onions now we gonna add our onions to this [Music] yes we just want to cook it down a little bit when I don't cook them all the way down we just want to soften them up not to that thing we're going to add our garlic it doesn't make no difference I'd like to have like bigger pieces like I said some diced and we you know some like rough rough chops now we're gonna bring that fire back up it's a medium we're gonna let just bacon grease and these onions do they say okay look I just brought the heat down just a little bit because we getting ready to introduce you know we get ready to introduce our minced garlic but this right here is what I'm talking about listen it's real fragrant you can smell it man it smells good I'm telling you guys man don't you guys sleep on these are these red onions I know everybody likes to use that a yellow onion which is red onion that's it and you know what it brings a lot of color to your dish - so got this got this bacon fat you know there's bacon grease you know what I mean it's a man is saturating which is red onion now let me go ahead and get the UH the garlic and then right after the garlic then we going here to do you know some of our seasoning and then we go put these potatoes in remember you just want to move it or keep it moving around you want to get into near you just want it to release its flavor also we don't want to burn it all down I wish you guys could smell it now all you want to do right here is you just want to introduce your potatoes you know to your garlic and onion and you know your grease mix what you want to do is you just want to move it around get everything coated and you want to put some heat into your potatoes

say water but if you guys been following me you know anytime that I'll use water your they say you know add water whatever I go ahead and use a chicken stock so what I'm doing is just adding some more to it and if I don't have enough left then I'm gonna go ahead and add some water we just want to add maybe look like it only gonna take about a cup you know the objective is just to get it you know about so hot just enough to almost cover it but not fully covered and what we're gonna do is you're just gonna stir it up and we're gonna make sure that everything has been coated and then as it cooks
