Boring old canned Green Beans? Not anymore. I learned this technique when I lived in TN for a year.

How To Make southern style green beans

Step 1

Slice the onion in rings, and add to all the other ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Include the liquid from the canned beans.

Step 2

Cover and simmer on a low heat for about 45 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and makes the canned beans taste fresh out of the garden. Strain the liquid and serve.
