Steps:
- Heat a medium-sized cast-iron skillet on low to medium heat before adding thickly sliced pieces of hickory smoked bacon, cook slowly until the bacon has browned and become crisp. Do not overcook the bacon.
- Place the bacon on baker's rack to drain excess bacon grease and keep the crispiness of the bacon.
- Drain most of the bacon grease from the cast iron skillet and place it on medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 3 minutes. Remove the cast-iron skillet from the heat.
- Place 6 cups of fresh clean, tips removed, sliced green beans in a Dutch oven, and 2 slices of the reserved raw bacon. Add the cut-up bite-sized red-skinned potatoes, cover with about 4 cups of chicken stock or more if needed.
- Add 1 tablespoon of bacon grease or unsalted butter, season the green beans and potato mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black peppercorns to your own taste.
- Place the dutch oven on low-medium heat and slowly cook until the potatoes and green beans are tender; about 45-50 minutes.
- Chop the 6 slices of crisp bacon and reserve until ready to serve.
- Once the Southern-Style Green Beans and Red Potatoes are tender, remove them from heat, place them in a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with chopped bacon.

- Add green beans, cover, and simmer until very tender, about 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes and green beans to a serving dish. Bring the liquid to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Spoon over the vegetables, and gently fold to mix. Serve hot.

SOUTHERN-STYLE GREEN BEANS WITH BACON AND NEW POTATOES
Steps:
- In a large saucepan or medium Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until it has rendered most of its fat and has begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pan and simmer until the beans are very tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to keep the beans covered. As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.
