• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.
• Add the green beans to the pan using oil to coat the beans and pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally until the green beans start to “char”. At this point, cover the skillet with a lid and let steam for another 5-7 minutes.
• Remove the lid, add the cranberries and sauté for another 2 minutes until the cranberries are warmed through and starting to burst. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Plate the green beans with the cranberries, crumble the goat cheese and bacon on top and serve warm.
