Mom's Green Beans and Bacon (or Ham) image

Mom made these green beans a lot. In summer she used fresh beans and the rest of the year she used home canned beans. It is a very simple recipe and it is good.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 slice thick bacon (or use sliced ham)
1 medium chopped onion
2 qt fresh green beans (or 2 large cans beans)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. Fry bacon (or ham) until it is beginning to cook. Add onion and continue cooking until onion is translucent. Don't let bacon get too crisp. It will continue to cook with the beans and flavor them. Drain grease. Crumble or cut bacon or ham. Set aside and prepare beans.
  • 2. If using fresh greens, clean them and cut in bite sized pieces. Cook in boiling water until tender. Add all other ingredients to green beans you just cooked (or to the unheated canned green beans if using those) and cook for approximately 10 minutes to heat thoroughly and blend flavors.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I also like to add some chopped carrots and celery for a more colorful dish.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, so I substituted turkey bacon in this recipe. It turned out great! The green beans were still flavorful and delicious.

I've tried many green bean recipes, but this one is by far the best. The green beans are always tender and flavorful, and the bacon adds the perfect amount of smokiness.
