Creating Country Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes with Bacon is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and trim the green beans, then quarter the potatoes. Set aside.

2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the bacon grease. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

4. Add Potatoes: Stir in the quartered potatoes, cooking for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

5. Add Green Beans: Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Season and Add Broth: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the vegetables, then pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine.

7. Simmer: Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

8. Finish with Bacon: Once the vegetables are cooked through, stir in the crispy bacon. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, and if desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
