Ingredients

4 14.5-ounce cans green beans, drained
8 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
4 tablespoons butter, cut into slivers
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Place green beans in 4- or 6-quart slow cooker (either grease slow cooker or use a cooking bag). Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet until crispy, adding onion when the bacon is almost fully cooked. Continue to cook until onion soaks bacon flavor and softens. Remove bacon and onion with a slotted spoon and add to slow cooker. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease into the slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally.
