- 2 tablespoons reserved bacon grease
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or Tamari

Turn the heat to medium-high and toss the green beans around for a couple of minutes in the skillet or until they start to blister. Reduce heat to low and add in the garlic, soy sauce and brown sugar sweetener. Cover with the lid and let the green beans cook for about 8 minutes (omit this step if using canned.)
