6 thick slices: bacon, chopped

1/2 cup: onions, minced

1 teaspoon: minced garlic

1 pound: fresh green beans, trimmed

1 cup: water

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until the fat begins to render. Stir in onions and garlic; let cook for 1 minute. Stir in beans and water. Let the beans cook until the water has evaporated and the beans are tender. If the beans are not tender once the water has evaporated, add a small amount more water and let them cook until tender.
