Green Beans Southern Style Recipe
Yield: 8 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2 lbs: Green beans, trimmed and washed
1 large: White onion, chopped
1: Green, (Bell) pepper, chopped
1/2 lbs: Sliced smoked bacon, cut into squares
Salt, it wont need much
And black pepper to taste,
6 small: New potatoes,, (about the
Size of golf balls), optl
Directions:
If the beans are very small and tender, leave them whole. Otherwise,
cut in half lengthwise (known for some obscure reason as
"Frenching"), and cut the individual beans into bite-sized lengths.
Place the beans, onion, pepper, bacon into a large stewing pot. Cover
with water. Cover the pot, and cook on low heat until the beans are
very tender (2-3 hours is about right -- these are NOT supposed to be
crisp). About 30 minutes before serving, add the potatoes if used,
and season to taste. Dont worry about overcooking the beans, you
cant -- theyre supposed to be a dull green and very tender
:-)
Serve the beans, along with a generous portion of the liquid, and the
potatoes, if used. This may be used as an accompaniment for any
Southern-style meal, or may serve, with cornbread or biscuits on the
side, as a meal itself.
