The Best Southern Green Beans image

These are FANTASTIC! This recipe was revised from an old family favorite! My southern roots come through on this one! Either way the beans end up melting in your mouth and the cooked bacon adds more flavor! REALLY tasty! Good for cookouts or to compliment any meal!

I added some chopped red bell pepper to these green beans and they were so good! The red bell pepper added a nice sweetness and crunch.

These green beans were a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.
