For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to mimic the smoky flavor. If you prefer a softer green bean, simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes. Be sure to monitor the liquid level and add a splash of water if needed to prevent scorching. A dash of black pepper or red pepper flakes adds a pleasant kick.
