# Instructions:
01 -
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
02 -
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03 -
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to brown slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
04 -
Stir in the green beans, ranch seasoning mix, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and green beans are tender.

Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the cooked bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
