Heat a large skillet over low-medium heat, and add the bacon pieces. Cook until it reaches the desired crispness.
½ pound bacon
Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and drain all but 3 to 4 tablespoons of grease.
Rinse the green beans. Carefully place them into the hot pan so the grease doesn't splash.
1 pound green beans
Cook the green beans for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until they reach the desired doneness.
Add the garlic, and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute then add the bacon. Stir to combine, and remove from heat. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired.
4 garlic cloves
