Ingredients
Scale
4 cups fresh green beans, ends snipped and cut into small pieces
1 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
4 medium sized potatoes, peeled and cut into 8 pieces
1 pint heavy cream
2 cups 2% milk
Salt and pepper
Snipped chives (optional) for garnish
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook bacon pieces until slightly crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain excess fat, but don’t wipe the bottom clean.
While the bacon and onions are cooking, boil the potatoes until tender. Drain water and slightly mash. Set aside.
Steam green beans until slightly tender. Set aside.
When the beans and potatoes are done, add the bacon back in the pot, add green beans and mashed potatoes, and cover with the milk and cream. Stir to combine.
Warm for a bit until heated through, taking care not to boil.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnishing each bowl with snipped chives, if desired.
