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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will add a lot of flavor to the dish. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
- Don't overcook the green beans: They should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked green beans are mushy and bland.
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: This will add a lot of flavor and sweetness to the dish. You can use Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, or any other type of tomato that you like.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, oregano, or basil.
Conclusion:
Green beans with bacon and tomatoes is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It's a great way to use up fresh green beans from your garden, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.
