Pour both cans of green beans on a colander set over the sink.
In a 12-inch skillet, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel=lined plate. Leave drippings in skillet.
Add onion (1/2 cup) and sauté until soft and beginning to brown. Add garlic and heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Return bacon to skillet. Add drained beans, chicken broth (1/2 cup), brown sugar (1 tablespoon), salt (1/4 teaspoon), black pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and apple cider vinegar (1 teaspoon). Stir to combine.
Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to low, and simmer. Add butter (2 tablespoons) and continue to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid is reduced. Serve.

Canned, Really? YES!! This Texas Roadhouse style green beans is so straightforward and easy. This recipe calls for canned green beans not only for convenience, but I like the briny taste of canned green beans.
- Of course, you are welcome to use fresh or frozen. Just cook the fresh green beans a little before adding it to the pan. If frozen, thaw them first.
More Zing?! Try adding a splash of apple cider when you add the chicken broth.
Fried Onions: Did someone say onions? While not original to Texas Roadhouse beans, a sprinkle of French's® Original Crispy Fried Onions are fabulous on top!
