Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve 1/4 cup bacon grease in the skillet, discard remainder.

  2. While the bacon is cooking, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add beans, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Add onion and garlic to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium heat until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter until melted. Add green beans, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper, toss until combined. Mix in crushed chips.
