Ingredients

6 slices bacon, or more to taste
0.5 cup water
0.25 cup brown sugar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon vegetable seasoning salt (such as McCormick® Vegetable Supreme® Seasoning)
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
salt to taste

Instructions

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, around 10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Drain bacon on paper towels, saving 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings. Crumble the bacon.
Bring water to a boil in a skillet. Stir in brown sugar, vegetable seasoning, and bacon drippings. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes, or until the brown sugar dissolves completely. Add green beans and crumbled bacon, then season with salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the green beans reach your desired tenderness.
