Open the bacon package and start to brown the bacon in a pan, leaving it pliable and not crispy.

Snap the green beans into 1-2 inch pieces, removing the tips.

Drain the bacon on a paper towel to absorb excess grease, saving some grease in the pan.

Add a little bacon grease back into the pan for flavor.

Chop the onion, using about 3/4 of a large onion, and add it to the pan to sauté.

Add the red potatoes, cutting them in half to ensure even cooking, and mix with the onions.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
