Grandma's Green Beans image

My beloved and very much missed Grandmother was always asked to bring these to family gatherings.. The woman knew how to cook, raising 8 kids, 6 of them being girls, I think it's fair to say- she had a PHD.. ;).. I only wish I had more of her recipes to share..

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
1/2 cup yellow onion (chopped)
4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans green beans (any brand)
1/2 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Fry bacon til' it's crisp, on the stovetop. Add onion, cook until tender.
  • Drain "all" liquid off of canned green beans.
  • Add beans to bacon and onion mixture.
  • Add bullion cube and water.
  • Cook very slowly until beans "shrivel".
  • Sometimes, ok well maybe always I have this compulsive need to add things to whatever I am cooking, and 98% of the time you can beat it's gonna be GARLIC or SPICES. Soo- there ya' go. Add in some garlic if you dare, or maybe some seasoning salt? :) But whatever you do- ENJOY!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my green beans turned out mushy. I think I cooked them for too long.

These green beans are a great make-ahead side dish. I made them the day before and they were just as good the next day.

I've made these green beans several times now and they're always a hit. They're a great way to use up leftover bacon.

I'm not a big fan of green beans, but these were actually really good. The bacon and onions add a lot of flavor.

Oh my goodness, these green beans are fantastic! I've never had green beans like this before, they're so flavorful and tender. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making these again and again.
