Ingredients
- 1 pound thick cut bacon

- Slice onion and add to skillet. Stir and add beer, salt and pepper. Cover.
- Slice potatoes with knife or mandoline to 1/4-inch thick. Add to skillet and stir. Add water and chicken base. Stir and cover.
- Add frozen green beans to skillet. Stir to combine. Cover.
