Country Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes with Bacon Easy One Pan Recipe

  • Author: Rachel
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

This cozy, one-pan recipe combines crisp-tender green beans, buttery baby potatoes, and smoky bacon, all tossed in herby ranch seasoning for a comforting, flavor-packed side or main dish. Perfect for busy weeknights or potlucks, it’s easy, crowd-pleasing, and full of down-home charm.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), halved or quartered
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim green beans. Halve or quarter baby potatoes. Dice onion (if using) and mince garlic.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, cook diced bacon over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fat renders and bacon is just starting to crisp.
  4. Add diced onion to the bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add potatoes and green beans to the skillet. Drizzle with olive oil.
  6. Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix over everything. Add a pinch of salt and plenty of black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are fork-tender and green beans are crisp-tender. If potatoes aren’t tender after 25 minutes, cover loosely with foil and roast for another 5-10 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately, straight from the skillet.

Notes

For extra crispy bacon, reserve half to sprinkle on top after roasting. Par-cook potatoes in the microwave for 3-4 minutes to speed up cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two pans if needed. Garnish with parsley, chives, or a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness. Can be made vegetarian by omitting bacon and adding mushrooms or smoked paprika.
