Place the bacon into a saucepan over medium high heat on the stove. Saute until the fat on the bacon begins to render.

Add the onion and garlic to the saucepan, and saute another minute.

Pour the water and the beans into the saucepan, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the beans become tender. If the water runs out before the beans are tender enough, add a little more water and continue to cook.

Add salt and pepper before serving.

Enjoy!
