2 lbs: Green beans, trimmed

-and washed,
Salt, it wont need much
1 large: White onion, chopped
And black pepper to taste,

-chopped,
Size of golf balls), optl
1/2 lbs: Sliced smoked bacon,
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.
