That is a good recipe. Don't drain the green beans, and maybe add some salt & pepper. That's it - simple, easy, & tasty!

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.

I would definitly drain the beans. I then add a tablespoon of dales seasoning or a beef boullian cube to 2 cups of water. This elimintes all of that fat and adds a ton of flavor! Add that to the green beans and simmer for 45 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a serving dish when ready to serve. If you have the option to buy "Italian cut" green beans (not to be confused with french cut), they are the best!

I drain and rinse all canned vegetables so they won't taste like they came from a can.
Sorry, I don't share my grandmother's secret recipe for Creole Green Beans. Good luck though.
You might want to try "google" for Green bean recipes. I hope this helps.

I love this simple recipe! I would suggest tossing in a chicken boullion cube in as well, a tsp of butter too and simmer for at least 30 minutes. Add salt & pepper to taste. I think 2 cans for 4 people is enough but I don't know what else you are making.
