While dining at a restaurant chain recently, my husband told me how much he enjoyed the chain’s famous green beans. So I made a mental note and as soon as we got home, I started searching online for a copycat recipe. Not only were there a number of copycat recipes floating around, one of the restaurant’s chefs shared the actual recipe while making a television appearance.

Items used to make this recipe:

Texas Roadhouse Green Beans

makes 4-6 servings

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cans cut green beans, well drained

• 4 ounces uncooked bacon, cut into bite-size pieces

• 4 ounces white or yellow onion, chopped

• 2 cups water

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (see note below)

• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

1. In a glass measure, combine the water, sugar, and white pepper; stir well and set aside until needed.

2. In a 10-inch skillet, cook bacon, stirring frequently, until a brick red color is achieved; without draining away the bacon drippings, ad the onions and continue cooking until translucent.

3. Add the water mixture and canned green beans; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Note

• I don’t recall the beans being sweet when we had them at the restaurant so I think you could reduce the sugar in half (or eliminate it completely) without negatively affecting the recipe.
