Southern Green Beans
Southern Green Beans are slow cooked with bacon, butter, salt and pepper and the perfect, flavorful side dish for any meal!
Ingredients
- 4-5 slices bacon, chopped
- 3-4 cans green beans, 2 drained
- 1 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a pot over medium/high heat. Add chopped bacon and let it cook until browned and crispy.
- Once the bacon is crispy, carefully add the beans to the hot bacon grease. I use two cans of beans that are drained and 2 with the liquid. You want the the liquid to just cover the beans. If using fresh beans, snap them down to a smaller size and then cover with water.
- Add 1-2 tbsp of butter and salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the beans cook for 20-25 minutes.
