For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and start with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Adding a smoked ham hock or a teaspoon of smoked paprika can enhance the smoky flavor. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the green beans. Check for tenderness and adjust accordingly. Serve with cornbread or crusty bread to soak up the delicious pan juices.
