Lick the Pan Green Beans! image

Don't let the simpleness of this recipe fool you, it is so good you'll want to lick the pan. I do! Taught to me by a 96 year old friend, and has become one of my favorite vegetables! I used to think green beans, ho hum, but not with this recipe!

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb green beans, trimmed, cut in 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2-2 cups water (may need more later)
1 teaspoon salt
all purpose Greek seasoning (optional)
liquid smoke (optional)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Place olive oil in the bottom of a medium to large saucepan.
  • Put green beans in pan, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over the beans.
  • Pour in water.
  • Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium low, cover partially, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the water is almost completely gone, stirring occasionally.
  • This is approximate, so check every so often, you may need to add a little more water to get beans cooked to desired doneness.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
  • Note: My sister loves to add Greek seasoning and a few dashes of liquid smoke to this. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

OMG, these green beans are AMAZING! I've never had green beans so flavorful and tender. The sauce is incredible, and the bacon adds the perfect touch of smokiness. I will definitely be making these again and again!
