Since finding your mama’s  recipe this is now the only way I cook my green beans!! I’ve always loved green beans cooked with bacon but whenever I asked  someone cook how to make these all they would say is just cook green beans and bacon together. You’ve given me measurements and instructions Thanks so much  for sharing.

Made this today with bbq ribs and so glad I did. I followed your recipe
to the letter except for the brand of green beans since we don’t have Hanover brand here and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks

We would go to Idaho every summer, My Grandma put green beans on her cookstove every morning with some salt pork, worked in her garden until noon and we ate the most delicious green beans ever. She would then take a nap and my brother and I were to be as quite as possible! We wanted to go swimming at the local pool but it was closed because of Polio!  I learned a love of reading in those forced hours of quite. Great memories of the 40’s and 50’s.

She added a teaspoon of sugar. It does something magical to them. I could eat the whole pot by myself!

Deborah Taylor and I could have grown up in the same house! Sweet memories!

I also don’t add any extra bacon.

I cook it on medium low with the lid on.

I was raised on okra, grits, crowder peas, (not sure on that spelling) and so many other terrific southern foods. I remember having breakfast, dinner, and supper. We had dinner in the middle of the day because it was to hot to cook later. So left overs it was. Our cornbread didn’t come out of a box and it wasn’t sweet. Ahhhh, the memories.

Our food service professionals at the site where i worked in ’98-’02 managed a variation of these and collards with generous cuts of tender smoked turkey. Outside of my mother’s kitchen this was some fine eating! Thank you Roselle & Company. I’ll save the recipe presented here and hopefully make this for Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner.
