  3. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high, add in the green beans and toss in the drippings till coated. Saute/fry, stirring frequently, adding 1 Tbsp. water at a time to keep the beans moist and prevent them from browning. Cook till just tender-crisp, 4 to 5 min. Sprinkle the beans with the bacon, the lemon zest and lemon juice. Toss and saute/fry for 30 seconds.
  4. Season with lemon pepper or possibly salt and black pepper to taste, if you like, and serve.
