What is a good recipe for homegrown green beans?

3 pounds fresh green beans, tips and tails removed

1/4 pound bacon, cut in bite size pieces

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth

Salt, pepper to taste

1 onion, cut into strips

1 pound small red new potatoes

Heat the oil in a large dutch oven or large skillet with a lid and place your bacon in pan over medium heat and cook until bacon has rendered its fat and is crisp. Remove bacon from pan to drain. Add in your green beans and toss to coat in the bacon/olive oil. Add in your seasonings and half of the chicken stock. Cook over medium low heat, covered, for 30 minutes until half done. At the end of 30 minutes add in your onion, new potatoes, reserved bacon and additional stock if needed. Cook, covered tightly for another 30 minutes until potatoes are done. Re-season with salt and pepper if needed.

Cracker Barrel Green Beans

My recipe is similar to the previous answer.

Heat equal parts of butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook 3-4 strips of bacon or panchetta (chooped) until slightly crispy. Add sliced garlic, green beans, salt and pepper. Cook until green neas are tender and serve along side a great piece of beef! :)

Mmmm makes me hungry already.

Saute a medium onion, some diced ham until onion is cooked through. Add your beans, trimmed of course, then some water. You don't want to cover the beans with water, just about 1/2 cup or so. Season generously with salt and pepper since the beans have no flavoring to them. Bring the water to a boil, then cook for a few minutes uncovered, then cover until you need to add more water, if necessary. You don't want to dry out the pan, or your beans will burn. Continue cooking until beans are cooked to your liking, and tasting for seasoning as you go. I always make these beans on holidays and my family loves them. Enjoy!

The simple southern way to cook green beans -

In a large pot add:

Green Beans

Bacon Grease (I don't have an amount...my grandma never measured anything...just add a couple table spoons full depending on the size of pot and amount of beans...yes, it might seem like a lot of grease, but that's where the flavor comes from)

Brown Sugar (couple tablespoons)

Salt and Pepper (to taste)

And...boil the heck out of it. The green beans will end up so tender and flavorful they'll melt in your mouth.

Yes, this recipe turns something as healthy as a green bean into a heart attack on a plate, but it's worth it. Thank you, Grandma!

This is how I make mine. Pick them after the dew has left and wash. Then snap and wash again. Dice some bacon, one or two slices, and fry in the bottom of the pan you will be cooking them in. Add the green beans and then enough water to almost cover them. Add salt and bring to a boil. Lower heat and continue cooking until tender.
