Every bit as tasty as the original, these copycat Texas Roadhouse green beans combine tender green beans with crispy bacon and sautéed onion to recreate that favorite restaurant side dish. It’s a super simple recipe that puts a whole new spin on green beans!

What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • These aren’t your average green beans! Texas Roadhouse green beans are absolutely delicious: savory, a little tangy, and a little sweet. If you’re a fan of the OG restaurant version, you will absolutely LOVE this at-home copycat!
  • This delicious side dish couldn’t be any easier to make! After crisping up some bacon, green beans are cooked in bacon fat with onion, garlic, spices, a little touch of sugar, vinegar, and chicken broth. And everything goes in one single skillet!
  • These green beans are great for any weeknight dinner and would be a wonderful side dish to baked ribs, grilled chicken, meatloaf or even salmon. They’re also a great take on the classic green bean casserole and would work beautifully with holiday meals such as this bacon wrapped turkey breast or filet mignon.

Chef’s Tips

  • Yes, to recreate the delicious classic dish from Texas Roadhouse, we use canned green beans like they do. They just have that specific texture we’re looking for! Be sure to drain all the liquid from the cans before adding the green beans to the skillet, and give them a quick rinse to remove any excess salt.
  • Dietary variations are totally doable. You can very easily make this recipe dairy free by skipping the butter or replacing it with a tad of oil or a plant-base option. It’s already low-carb, but to make it completely keto, all you need to substitute is the sugar. Monk fruit or Swerve would work great instead.

6 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon chopped

  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic approximately 3 large cloves

Get Recipe Ingredients

Equipment

  • Large skillet with lid
  • large wooden spoon

Instructions 

  • Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add 6 slices bacon (chopped) and cook until bacon is just crisp, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Stir often to prevent bacon sticking and burning.
  • When bacon is crispy, add ½ cup diced white onion to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, approximately 5 minutes.
  • When onion has softened, add 2 16-ounce cans green beans (drained and rinsed), ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper to skillet. Stir to fully incorporate ingredients.
  • Once ingredients are fully incorporated, reduce heat under skillet to low. Cover skillet with lid and simmer until green beans are tender, approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • After 10 minutes, taste green beans and add salt and/or pepper as needed. When satisfied with flavor, transfer green beans to serving dish or divide into individual portions and serve warm.

Notes

  • Green Beans: Texas Roadhouse uses canned green beans, so we did, too! You can use fresh or frozen green beans instead, but you’ll end up with a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • Salt: If you use regular chicken broth (rather than low sodium), taste the green beans before adding the ½ teaspoon salt. You may find it’s not needed.
  • Make it Keto: Replace the sugar with Granular Swerve or omit the sweetener entirely.

    Growing up my mom used to make these all the time! Can’t wait to have them again!! Can I make these a couple hours ahead of time so as not so pressed for time before we sit down to eat?

    I’ve been making a version of this for years, but it always just just a little bit off of the original. Then I found your recipe. The vinegar is the key and makes this a spot on recreation. Amazing recipe!
