What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • This delicious side dish couldn’t be any easier to make! After crisping up some bacon, the green beans are cooked in the bacon fat with onion, garlic, spices, a little touch of sugar, vinegar and chicken broth. And everything goes in one single skillet! These Texas Roadhouse green beans are savory, a little tangy and a little sweet.
  • These green beans are great for any weeknight dinner and would be a wonderful side dish to baked ribs, grilled chicken, meatloaf or even salmon. They’re also a great take on the classic green bean casserole and would work beautifully with holiday meals such as this bacon wrapped turkey breast or filet mignon.

Chef’s Tips

  • Yes, to recreate the delicious classic dish from Texas Roadhouse, we use canned green beans like they do. It just has that specific texture we’re looking for! Be sure to drain all the liquid from the cans before adding the green beans to the skillet.
  • You can very easily make this recipe dairy free by skipping the butter or replacing it with a tad of oil or a plant-base option. It’s already low-carb, but to make it completely keto, all you need to substitute is the sugar. Monk fruit or Swerve would work great instead.

Notes

  • Green Beans: Canned green beans usually have salt added, so give them a quick rinse or your dish might turn out too salty.
  • Salt: If you use regular chicken broth (rather than low sodium), taste the green beans before adding the ½ teaspoon salt. You may find it’s not needed.
  • Make it Keto: Replace the sugar with Granular Swerve or omit the sweetener entirely.

    I’ve been making my green beans just like this for years with the exception of Vinegar and sugar. I do add red potatoes and whole garlic cloves and top with half cube of butter when done. Everyone loves them!

      We haven’t tried using an electric oven roaster, but some commenters have used crock pots to serve large crowds!
