1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed 
1 ½ pounds baby potatoes (red or Yukon gold), halved or quartered 
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled 
1 packet ranch seasoning mix 
3 tablespoons butter, melted 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
Salt and pepper to taste 
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the Potatoes:
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside. 
Cook the Green Beans:
In the same pot, bring water to a boil and cook the green beans for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Bacon:
While the veggies are cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon and crumble it. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet. 
Make the Ranch Butter:
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch seasoning, and minced garlic.
Combine Everything:
In the skillet with the reserved bacon grease, toss the cooked potatoes, green beans, and crumbled bacon. Pour the ranch butter mixture over everything and gently toss to coat.
