Canned Green Bean Recipe
This is a simple, easy recipe for stretching that last can of green beans in the pantry.
How To Make
Start by pan frying a few diced red potatoes in a mixture of bacon grease and butter. This gives the potatoes maximum flavor. Then add a chopped vidalia onion and keep cooking until the potatoes are soft.
Add a drained can of green beans, a little ranch seasoning, some black pepper, and a good amount of crumbled bacon. Let everything get warm and it is ready to be served.
Country Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes Recipe Tips
You’ll have to be careful about how much ranch seasoning you add because it is salty. Start with 1 teaspoon and go from there. Keep adding a little until you get the flavor you like.
You can leave the bacon grease out and just use butter if you prefer.

I make this all the time for me and my husband. I actually triple it so we have leftovers. This dish is easily warmed up in the microwave and all I make to go with it is meat. Chicken, beef and pork all taste great with this recipe! We are having it for dinner tonight with pork loin chops baked in mushroom gravy!
Absolutely delicious !!
Delicious! Taking it to a 4th July Party.
I’ve made this several times. It’s a favorite in our home. I’ve double and tripled the recipe, and taken it to gatherings. People always ask for the recipe. I never have left overs.
I can’t use ranch dressings. What if I left it out??
Most excellent, I made it exactly like the recipe but doubled it for my crew. LOVED it. I made it again for my neighbor and left out the bacon but used bacon salt and they loved it. (She does not cook nor eat meat.) Her family does but were not missing it.
I made this for Thanksgiving and the family loved it!
this was a good recipe idea for me to make a little twist to it. I oven roasted the potatoes w/onions and bacon when done I put in a pint jar of my canned green beans and sprinkled homemade Ranch seasoning on. Turned out great thanks for the idea.
I’m going to try this with the spicy ranch mix instead of adding hot sauce.
Sounds great can’t wait to try.
Can you tell me what is Ranch seasoning? Is it what I use to make the dressing? Guess I am somewhat slow on this one. Recipe sounds wonderful I am sure my family will love it. Thanks for your efforts and sharing.
I use the Hidden Valley packets that are in the salad dressing section of the store.
It was a hit, reminded me of when I was a child eating at my grandmothers house.❤️
I made this last night and it was a big hit. Will be making again. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
Definitely will be making this a lot at my house. Everythings better with Ranch, right?!
Such an easy and delicious side will be making it again soon.
This is the easiest, most delicious, country ranch green bean potato dish I have ever made. I’m sending this to my family and friends. Yum yum yum.
This was awesome and I will definitely make this again. Anybody have any idea on the nutrition info for it? Obviously it’s not low calorie, but if somebody has it, it would save me from trying to figure it out!
Tasty recipe, but I put ranch powder in a lot of things. There’s nothing proprietary about this recipe. [*shrug*]
This is basically my recipe with almost the same title even, and one of my most popular on my blog. Would you mind awfully much giving me credit and a link-back? I would very much appreciate it. Thank you! 🙂

Thank you for your comment. I was going to pin this, but I will go to your blog and pin from the source instead.
Every other recipe blogger has this recipe, or one similar that uses ranch seasoning. Not sure what that lady is referring to about receiving credit??! ButThank you for sharing your version Christin, I’m gonna try it!
You are welcome to leave your link here, but I counted 5 differences in ingredients/amount of ingredients which is a lot for such a simple and basic recipe.
