1. Cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon pieces and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
2. Sauté the chopped onion in the same skillet with the bacon grease until soft and translucent.
3. Add the drained green beans, chicken broth, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
4. Let the green beans simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the broth to reduce slightly.
5. Stir in the cooked bacon pieces and simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
6. Serve the green beans hot, topped with extra crispy bacon if desired.

Tips and Variations
– Use fresh green beans instead of canned, if preferred.
– Add other seasonings or spices to taste, such as paprika or red pepper flakes.
– Serve as a side dish or add to a main course, such as a salad or casserole.
