Author: Katie Brown

the perfect winter side (or for any season!) but would be amazing with steak and a glass of red wine!

Ingredients

• 1/2 package Bacon, cooked

• Red Pepper Flakes and Paprika to taste

Instructions

1. Drain and rinse beans
2. Cook bacon according to package (I prefer to cook bacon in the oven)
3. Heat pan on high heat, add oil, reduce heat to medium and add onions. Cook until translucent. Add in the minced garlic and 1 tbsp butter, stir. 
4. Add in the drained and rinsed white beans and stir
5. Add in a few dashes of paprika and red pepper flakes and stir, then let sit for a minute or 2 to heat up
6. Cut bacon into small pieces and add to the pan and stir
