Looking for an easy keto side to add to your dinner rotation?
These bacon garlic green beans are AH-MAZING! And they’re so quick to make.
Be sure to prep the bacon ahead of time and store it in your fridge for a really quick side option. I like to prep 1-2 lbs of extra bacon each week on my griddle to add to recipes like this throughout the week. It saves a ton of time, especially when it comes to clean up.
