Cook the green beans in the steaming bag in the microwave according to package directions. Mine cooked for 2 1/2 minutes each.

Note: If you have regular cut green beans trim them if needed. And if you don't have yours in a steaming bag boil them in salted water for 5 minutes, drain and set aside.

Set a large skillet over medium heat and use kitchen scissors to cut the bacon into the skillet in bite size pieces. Cook 6 to 7 minutes, stirring a few times. Remove the bacon and drain some of the bacon grease, leaving some in the skillet.

Add the diced onion, kosher salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning to the skillet. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring a few times.

Add the butter, green beans, more kosher salt, pepper, and Old Bay. Cook 6 to 7 minutes, stirring a few times.

Add the bacon crumbles and dried cranberries. Cook 2 more minutes or until the green beans are cooked how you like. Taste for seasoning and add more kosher salt, pepper, and Old Bay if needed.

Top with goat cheese and/or almonds if desired.
