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