- Stir in the drained green beans, tossing to combine with the sauce. Cook on medium/low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken up as it cooks.
- Stir in the bacon & cook for another 5 minutes on low. You can also opt to stir in half of the bacon & garnish the top of finished green beans with the other half.

If you can't find 38oz cans of green beans, you can also use 3-14.5oz cans of green beans. It bean to sauce ratio will be off slightly but it will still turn out delicious! Oven preparation instructions: Prepare the recipe up to step 5 then cover the oven-safe skillet and pop them in the oven at 350-F for about 20 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking.
