How To Make

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.
