• 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!

Add diced onion or a sprinkling of onion powder, now pour the reserved water from the cans into the pan and reduce heat. Keep warm on the stove until ready to serve.
