Canned Green Beans With Bacon Recipes

SOUTHERN STYLE SEASONED GREEN BEANS (FROM CANNED)

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a heavy sauce pan (do not crisp the bacon, just cook enough to extract the drippings). Remove from heat.
• Empty the 2 cans of cut green beans into the sauce pan directly on top of the cooked bacon and drippings.
• Add salt to taste and then the 1/4 teaspoons of minced garlic. Stir well and return to heat.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to med-low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes (1 hour is better).
• Serve and enjoy.
• NOTE - Use good quality canned green beans. My family prefers "flat beans" (Cut Italian Green Beans), but regular cut will taste just as good.

COUNTRY GREEN BEANS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Grab a good sized pot.
• Set the heat on the stove to medium high.
• Cook the bacon in the pot until brown, but not crunchy (include onion in this step cooked until translucent if desired).
• Add canned beans with juice to pot, making sure to stir the bacon and its juices into liquid.
• Add pepper sauce, salt, and pepper to pot.
• Leave on medium-high heat, uncovered, until beans and liquid come to a slight boil.
• When a boil is achieved, stir, turn the heat down to medium-low and cover (adjust the heat so the beans are just about boiling with the cover on but not boiling out of the pot).
• Cook for 1 hour, stirring every 10-20 minutes.
• Add more spices if desired (take a taste test every now and then).
• For fresh beans, before cooking as directed above, boil beans in enough water to cover + 1 teaspoon salt for 5 minutes (I feel this helps get rid of the strange taste some fresh green beans have).
• Drain.
• Add fresh green beans to recipe as indicated, but add enough water to cover once more.
