### Step 3: Add the Green Beans and Seasoning
Add the trimmed green beans and garlic (if using) to the skillet. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the vegetables and stir well to coat everything evenly.

Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and mix gently to combine. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
