1. Cook the Onion and Potato:

o In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

o Add the thinly sliced sweet onion and diced red potato to the skillet.

o Sprinkle with the coarse ground black pepper.

o Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and the potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes.

2. Add the Bacon and Garlic:

o Add the thinly sliced bacon and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

o Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and the bacon is heated through.

3. Combine with Green Beans:

o Sprinkle the dry Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing or Dips Mix over the mixture.

o Add the drained green beans to the skillet and stir to combine all the ingredients.

o Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well mixed.

4. Season and Serve:
