SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS

Southern Green Beans are slow-cooked string beans combined with onion, garlic, and crisp bacon. The end result is heavenly with scrumptious tender melt-in-your-mouth green beans.

These are not to be confused with northern-style green beans, which are cooked crisp tender, sometimes with crispy bacon or with just a little bit of butter, garlic, salt, and pepper.

My family adores these Southern Green Beans! Boy, do I love some Southern cooking!! Southern cooking brings comfort, like fluffy slippers, to cold feet. Southern cooking is a cure-all for whatever ails you and may be the best regional cooking ever!!! These Southern Green Beans are no exception to that rule. I could quite literally eat these with every meal, perhaps even breakfast. If you have never tried these, you MUST give them a whirl.

HOW TO COOK FRESH GREEN BEANS SOUTHERN STYLE

Folks, it really does not get much easier than this. First, It takes a little patience while they cook, but I am sure you have other chores to attend to. Then brown your bacon, and add your onions and garlic. Remove these and set them aside. Using the same pot without removing the bacon fat, add your trimmed green beans, chicken broth, and seasoning. Simmer for at least one hour and drain the chicken broth. Add the bacon, onion, and garlic to the green beans and heat over low for a couple of minutes.
