Bring the flavor of your favorite steakhouse right to your kitchen with these Texas Roadhouse-style green beans! Tender green beans slow-simmered in a savory, buttery broth with peppery seasoning — this southern-inspired side dish is rich, comforting, and loaded with homestyle flavor. Whether you’re serving a Sunday dinner, BBQ, holiday feast, or weeknight meal, this easy vegetable side will be the star of the table.

Texas Roadhouse is famous for its bold flavors, and these green beans are no exception. They’re buttery, salty-sweet, and perfectly seasoned … and the best part? You can whip them up at home in under 30 minutes with pantry staples!

🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 cans (16 oz each) Del Monte green beans, drained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 4–6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (for authentic Texas Roadhouse flavor!)
  • Optional: 1 small onion, finely chopped & sautéed for extra depth

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. If using bacon, cook it first and leave 1–2 tablespoons of the drippings in the pot for maximum flavor.
  3. Add onion (optional) and sauté until soft and fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and stir in sugar, white pepper, and black pepper.
  5. Add the drained green beans and gently stir to coat.
  6. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15–20 minutes to let flavors develop.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning — add a bit more pepper or a pinch of salt if needed.
  8. Stir in crumbled bacon before serving.

✅ Tips for Best Results

  • Use canned green beans — that soft, tender texture is key to achieving the authentic Texas Roadhouse taste.
  • Don’t rush the simmering — letting the beans soak up the buttery broth is what makes them extra flavorful.
  • Add bacon for that classic smoky edge — totally worth it!
  • Want extra richness? Add a splash of bacon grease or a pat of butter at the end.
