I come from along line of county cooks it doesnt take alot to make great green beans you can use frozen or fresh (dont buy them in a can) add a couple of teaspoons of bacon grease, about a tablespoon of dehydrated onions (I think they taste better than fresh in the beans) salt and pepper to taste and cook the heck out of them. To make good old fashioned green beans they cant be blanched or crunchy it will take a good 2 hours of simmering to make them good. Oh forgot the water just add enough to cover them that should last throughout the cooking but check every 30 minutes and add if necessary...Show more

OLD - FASHIONED GREEN BEANS

4 to 6 slices bacon
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 1/2 to 2 lbs. green beans, snapped
1/2 c. water
Salt and pepper to taste
6 to 8 new potatoes (optional)
1 cube chicken bouillon (optional)
1/4 tsp. sugar (optional)

In a heavy pot, fry the bacon until crisp over medium heat; remove the bacon and drain. Add the onion to the bacon grease and saute until limp. Add the green beans, water, salt, pepper, and any of the optional ingredients. Simmer the mixture, covered, for 45 minutes, or until tender. Transfer the green bean mixture to a serving dish and crumble the bacon over the top of the beans....Show more

I drain everything that comes in a can. Add back enough water to cover, salt, pepper, and onion. Instead of just bacon grease I'd crumble a piece of crispy bacon per can into the pot. Your beans are already cooked so you really don't need to grease, just the bacon flavor....Show more

I guess you aren't looking for the recipe with the can of mushroom soup and the french fried onion rings on the top (with canned green beans of course.) It does call for pepper.... :)

Seriously, some of these other ones look really good....Show more
