NANA’S FAMOUS GREEN BEAN RECIPE

Instructions

  • Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat in a heavy 3 qt saucepan until the bacon is fully rendered.
  • DO NOT remove any of the bacon grease – it’s what makes these green beans so amazing!
  • Add the onions and saute with bacon until transparent.
  • Add green beans and pepper and stir making sure the bacon drippings are getting mixed in well.
  • Add chicken broth and reduce heat to low.
  • Cover and continue cooking the green beans for 30 minutes up to two hours, stirring occasionally. Make sure there is liquid in the bottom of your pot so that the beans don’t get scorched.
  • Check for seasoning levels and add salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Enjoy!
