I've loved green beans all my life. Even before I lived for a year on my grandparent's 110 acre farm in Pennsylvania. They're always delicious. And this awesome green bean recipe comes from my dear mother-in-law. Over the years she's made this recipe for special occasions, probably because they simmer for about 2 hours.
Last fall when we were spending the night with her, she served these green beans with one of her stellar dinners. This time I asked her to tell me how she does it. When I made these a few weeks ago, I didn't have any bacon on hand, and they still came out fantastic tasting. Since I got diagnosed with celiac, I have to come up with runner ups for that famous green bean casserole I used to make every Thanksgiving. This time, I'm making Grandma's green beans!
Grandma's Country Green Beans
1. Prepare green beans:
(1) Rinse and snap 1 pound of green beans.
(2) Cut the beans 2 or 3 times lengthwise.
(3) Dice half of an onion.
(4) Cut 2 pieces of bacon into small pieces.
2. Put beans in a pot with water to cover and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the onion and bacon pieces. Bring beans to a boil, and then simmer for 2 hours.
