The Most Delicious Southern Style Green Beans That You Ever Ate!

    NOTE: EVERY pot of green beans is not always identical. It depends on your type of bacon, the hotness of your onion and your choice of seasonings. At times you may wish to remove some of your bacon drippings or use 3-4 slices of bacon as opposed to 5-6 pieces. (If you are not used to “Southern” cooking you may wish to remove most of your bacon drippings, to start with) It all just depends on your personal taste! Sometimes you need more or even less chicken broth, it all just depends on humidity/weather, time of year (temp). So use this as a guide and adjust to YOUR tastes! Whether it is more garlic, Cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes etc., take this and MAKE IT YOUR OWN! These will last in an airtight container up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze in airtight container for up to 3 months.
    2-2 ½ lbs fresh (or in a pinch a good quality frozen) green beans, washed, trimmed and snapped into bite sized pieces, Do NOT forget to check for stems!
    1-1 1/2 onion (sized as to your preference and cut anyway you like them cut) I used a sweet onion
    4-6 slices of bacon (you can cook the slices whole and crumble them up or cut them small while uncooked and pan fry them) You could also use a ham hock or a good ham bone.
    ½-1 teaspoon salt (adjust at the end of cooking to your taste)
    ½-1 teaspoon ground pepper (adjust at the end of cooking to your taste)
    2-4 cups chicken broth (in a pinch water OK to use, though chicken broth adds a really great "depth" of flavor to the recipe
    OPTIONAL (though HIGHLY recommended, I would NEVER leave these out):
    1-2 cloves minced garlic (I used minced garlic from a jar)
    1-2 teaspoons sugar
    ¼-1 Cajun seasoning (like Tony’s or try my homemade Cajun seasoning)
    Adjust ALL seasonings to YOUR liking.
    Additional Optional Choices:
    diced new potatoes
    field peas
    What more "heat"?
    Red pepper flakes

    • @Hedy

      LOL! Hey Daryell! I know exactly what you mean! I was of course raised cooking Southern and Louisiana style for sure. I guess it is mainly what I know. My sweet husband is a Yankee LOL! So I have learned from my mother in law how to make some things that way too. Let me tell you, though it is good, it is night and day worlds apart from Southern style! Thank you so much! :D

    I grew up eating this dish from about 1948. Yum! I make it slightly differently using Shelly Beans (I like Libby's but brand does not matter). I add some sugar and several whole onions that usually dissolve in the process, so I add a few more an hour before I finish YUM YUM. This is even better the second day (if you have any leftovers). I made a batch yesterday and barely had a cupful left so I am making another batch right now. And the leftover liquid is delicious too.

    • @Hedy
      @Hedy  4 роки тому

      Your way sounds delicious! You bet they are better the second time. I try to mention that in my videos here and there that some dishes (like the green beans) are BETTER the second day!

    I love green beans. Mine are blooming in my garden. I only use to make my beans, bacon, ham or smoked sausage, onions and a pinch of sugar. Salt and pepper, and cooked low and slow. Sometimes potatoes cooked with them and sometimes canned biscuits steamed on top of my green beans. Only cooked in water. Chicken broth is used for chicken and noodles :)
    Thumbs up on your video.

    • @Hedy
      @Hedy  5 років тому

      Thank you again Grandma Sue! Low and slow only way to go! The chicken broth is a preference for sure (we all cook mainly how we were taught growing up) though the chicken broth definitely adds to the flavor. I have done both ways over the years and hands down the chicken broth is a winner. I am glad you mentioned chicken and noodles, I had a very old low quality video that I made for that, I took it down ages ago. I have been meaning to remake that for a very long time! Also my Grandma's chicken and dumplin' recipe! :D

      Hi Stephanie. In all honesty, you can "doctor" up canned green beans (and I surely have done it), you are correct, different flavor. While they would most certainly be better than regular canned green beans, the flavor would not be the same, but good. Now might I suggest that you try it instead with frozen green beans? Frozen is the far better alternative. I apologize for not answering you much sooner, I am getting over some severe health issues. I appreciate your question and hope I wasn't too late. :D

      Well hey there! You had great timing leaving a comment! I happened to just be on checking stats Elizabeth! I did get extremely ill and also I was devastated that my sweet Mama passed away on top of my illness. It was indeed a difficult time for me and I was gone for a very long while but in January I pushed ahead and came back with several new videos about 10-12 new ones. In February I became unexpectedly ill again, but am now pulling myself back up and slowly gaining my strength back. I have several videos that I shot about 2 1/2 months ago that I am slowly trying to finish editing so that I can upload them. I have many more videos planned, so Elizabeth stay tuned! I appreciate you sticking with me and I am glad to see you are back! :D

      The answer is actually both. This particular time I did not add the sugar. I do usually add it, though I honestly don't remember why at the time (5 years ago LOL) why I didn't. However, I do always add the salt. Down in the recipe description, it does show the sugar. as optional. Great question and thank you for asking! I hope I answered it! :D
