green beans done differently
(3 ratings)
Years ago I found this recipe in a Shreveport, LA cookbook and have used it for numerous potluck dinners. Every time I take it, I receive requests for the recipe. I always prepare it in a crock-pot, but it can also be prepared on the stove-top. The crock-pot method seems to retain the texture of the whole green beans.

How To Make green beans done differently
-
1For the liquid for each can of green beans, dissolve the sugar or Splenda before adding the bacon drippings.
-
2Cut bacon into 1/2 inch bits and cook in a skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Use the grease for the liquid described above.
-
3Slice onion into 1/4 inch rings. Place in a microwave dish, put 2 tablespoons butter on top and cook until translucent.
-
4Open all cans of green beans, drain and discard liquid. Dump 3 cans of green beans into crock-pot.
-
5Place 1/2 of the bacon and 1/2 of the sauteed onions on top of the green beans.
-
6Put remaining 3 cans of green beans in crock-pot and top with the remaining bacon and onions.
-
7Pour the liquid mixture over the green beans. Cover and cook on low for a couple of hours then gently stir the mixture, recover and cook for another hour or so, depending on how hot your low setting is on your crock-pot.
-
8I sometimes add a small package of toasted almonds with the layers of onion and bacon.
-
9The cook time is for the crock-pot method.
