Southern Green Beans

Southern Green Beans

Cookies, I’ve been on a veggie kick. I’ve been craving nothing, but green veggies. Thank God! Oh, hold up. NO, Coop is not baking anything in her oven, okay. That’s not why I’m having cravings. Cut it out. lol 

I love green beans. But, I don’t like them with meat. Strange? Probably. But, you know I’m a weirdo already. Don’t worry. I’m showing you to cook delicious Southern-style green beans with and without meat!

Easy, right? I used frozen green beans in this recipe. But, I bought them from my local fruit stand which freezes their fresh green beans without any additives or preservatives. So, the flavor is super fresh tasting even after freezing them! If you’re using fresh green beans, then the cooking time will be longer. Like 1-2 hours longer. And if you’re using canned beans, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE drain that liquid in the can and use fresh water. Why you ask? Just taste that liquid that’s in the cans and see if you still want to cook with it. Come back and tell me about it too.

Love,

B. Coop
