Throw a slice of bacon in the bottom of a small sauce pan (maybe two; enough to cover the bottom when raw), about a 1/2 cup of diced onion and a couple of garlic cloves to the top. Put on medium-high until you have to turn the bacon, then just give it a couple quick tosses and leave it on medium high for another couple of minutes while the bacon, garlic and onions kinda meld and the onions/garlic brown a little.
Take a can of green beans and dump about 1/2 the juice out (in a cup, just in case you want to add it back in). Put the rest on the pot with the bacon, etc... Add juice as your pot requires, I like to just cover everything.
Set to a slow boil, cover and cook for 1/2 an hour. Then take the lid off and cook until the moisture is gone. If you're on a time crunch, skip the cover and you can knock the whole thing out in 20 minutes.
Easily my favorite green beans and they come from a can.
