1️⃣ Cook the Bacon:
In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside. Keep about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet for added flavor.

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
3️⃣ Cook the Potatoes:
Add the quartered potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp ranch seasoning. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4️⃣ Add the Green Beans:
Stir in the green beans and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
5️⃣ Finishing Touch:
Return the crispy bacon to the skillet. Pour in the melted butter and sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp ranch seasoning. Toss everything together until well coated.
6️⃣ Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy this rustic, flavorful side dish with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a hearty comfort meal on its own!
