  • Southern Country Style Green Beans
    2 - 50 ounce cans green beans
    bacon grease
    2 cups chopped onion
    salt and pepper
    In a large pan bring green beans, the liquid in the cans, and two large spoons of bacon grease to a rolling boil. Salt and pepper the beans. Reduce heat to medium-low so that the green beans are just at a simmer. Allow the beans to cook for one hour.
    Add the chopped onion and gently fold the onion into the green beans. Add a few more shakes of salt and pepper. Allow the beans to cook for another one to two hours, checking them approximately every 30 minutes.  Once the liquid has almost completely evaporated, and the beans are starting to look shriveled, remove from the heat and either serve immediately or allow to cool and refrigerate for use later.

    I cook mine the same way, but near the end of cooking time, I cut up a couple of red potatoes and lay on top of the beans to steam. A meal in itself.

      Wouldn't they contain salt when canned. Why salt them two additional times as they already are salted and when the water cooked is cooked out they will be even more salty?

      I grew up in northern Maine, USA on the New Brunswick Canada border… we grew up eating green beans and new baby potatoes and once they were cooked and drained, we’d add some heavy cream and butter.
      I loved to mash my potatoes and pour the hot cream / butter over them with fresh black pepper and salt..
      It’s a way that a lot of French Canadian - Northern Maine people would eat them. You could do with canned but using fresh beans is always so good!! I have a picture of them on my Instagram page page from just a month ago or so! I’d love you to take a look!!

    I cook my beans pretty much the same way, low and slow with onions and bacon grease, except I use Allen’s Kentucky Wonder beans. Daddy grew them for a while but I think he switched to Missouri Wonder. He also grew Blue Lake, which he preferred. He always joked that I liked the flat beans better because they didn’t have strings that I had to pull. 😂 I think I just like the green part better than the bean part.
    Something I learned from several southern cooking vlogs (Farming Pastor’s Wife, Collard Valley Cooks, Mandy in the Making) is to add a pinch of sugar for each can of beans. Not so much that you taste it, but it just adds a little something extra. I can’t figure out why, but they are better with than without it.

      Try the method of just putting a piece or 2 of chopped uncooked bacon in instead of the straight bacon grease. You likely can avoid adding extra salt that way too bc canned vegetables are already high in sodium. The bacon pieces will still give it that nice flavor w/o as much fat or added salt. I’ve also been known to just use olive oil when I’m eating clean and they taste fine that way too.

    Another great video. I am an older man in my 60s. I am from the South near KY. But my parents moved our family North back in the 60s. I was 8 years old. My parents use to make this recipe with home cook fresh from the garden green beans with new potatoes always and fat back bacon. My parents both passed away when I was in my teens and early 20s and I never got these Southern recipes. I have cooked many times this recipe with new potatoes & fatback. But I tried this recipe a week ago with frozen green beans in the slow cooker. It turned out fairly good but it did not taste like it should. I can't wait to try this. ( My wife is a Northern woman so I have to pick & chose my Southern dishes, lol.) Tom, Have you ever heard of Tomato Dumplings? My dad use to cook them when I was a kid. I loved them but I have never met anyone that knows how to cook them. My niece could but sadly she passed away several years ago before I got the recipe. Please do a video on Tomato Dumplings. Thumbs up on your videos. I will look for more of your videos. Stay well & safe.

      Tomato dumplings brings back memories from my childhood. My grandmother always made tomato dumplings. We would sprinkle a spoonful of sugar over the dumplings in our bowl. They were so good! I’m 63 and I wish my grandmother could cook for me again. Sadly, she never went by a recipe for anything! She just did her magic in the kitchen by throwing stuff in a pan or bowl and something delicious came out! I wish I could help you out with a recipe for the tomato dumplings but I don’t have a clue. Haven’t had them since I was a child.

    Great video!
    These beans look delicious, but I have never cooked beans for 3 1/2 hours. My mother-in-law was the best cook in our county. She always told me the less water on your beans the better. She would cook fresh green beans from the garden she would snap them, wash them, and put them in a pan with no water at all. ( I always put a little water in mine) She always put two or three pieces of bacon in her pan and an onion and cook that together, and rendered out the bacon grease. Throw the beans in the pan, salt and pepper and Put a lid on them and cook them on medium until simmering, and then turn them down to low for about an hour and half or so. Believe it or not as the beans cooked they made their own liquid from the steam. (Stirring carefully) Best green beans you ever eat in your life. She is long gone now, but I still remember her wonderful food and I have to say I can cook a lot of her recipes, probably not quite as good as hers but close. As for canned green beans I always drain one can and leave the liquid on the other, three pieces of bacon in a pan and onion fry the bacon with the onion until the bacon grease is rendered, put green beans in a pan along with a little salt and pepper, there again cook them on medium until they start to simmer and then turn them on low and cook them for an hour or so. Just my version of how to cook green beans.

      Interesting, because my friend's grandma , from the South, made green beans the same way. If she was making a small amount, she used a cast iron skillet. Melt bacon grease, add diced onions, then the green beans, salt and pepper. I don't know how long she cooked them. She passed away years ago, but I remember the house smelled wonderful!!

Of bacon grease ( yes, I Save and Freeze it!), dried onion and salt and pepper! Mine took 2 hours until “shriveled”, but they were delicious!! I’m Now a NEW SUBSCRIBER! Thanks so much!

    This is great! People don’t know what they missed not eating southern home cooked fresh vegetables. My granny was the best cook. So happy you showed this video. Now I can fix some southern cooked green beans using the cheaper cans of green beans. I usually buy the expensive “southern” cans because I can’t stand bland green beans!

    I live in WV but was raised across the Potomac River in Cumb., MD. We had a family of 10 so Mom would always try to extend the meal of green beans by adding potatoes and corn which was from our garden. She used bacon grease but more than that would use a ham bone for seasoning. I'm telling you, butter bread to sop up the juice. YUM!!!!

    Salt and Pepper to taste
    ************
    Cut the tomatoes smaller
    with juices, add to a bowl.
    Slice the onion, small slices
    Drain the beans

    Love love your videos. A couple of things I learned making mashed potatoes. 1 large potatoes per person, or two to three medium/small potatoes depending on the size of the potatoes. Love leftovers so I cook extra too. Second, if you warm your milk in a safe proof measuring cup in the microwave and slowly adding it to your potatoes when beating it makes the potatoes that much more creamy. And helps it to stay hot as well. Love potatoes anyway possible as well. Thank for all you do for us. I love your videos and learn so much from them as well.

    I just came across your channel. My Grandmother was from northern Kentucky and she always used a couple of slices of salt pork and if not available then she used the bacon and grease. Of course my mom did the same. But the cooking method was the same.
    Often they added potatoes and made non-sweet cornbread (ina big iron skillet) with butter and with a slice of tomato on the side. Those were delicious meals and filling too.
    Thanks for your channel.

    I have always used bacon grease and onions in my green beans. However, I have never cooked them for that long. I can not wait to try this method!! Thanks for the instructions! I don't have jars of bacon grease, I use BaconUp, which is a tub of filtered bacon grease that I get at the grocery store. I cook with the grease more than I cook bacon so this works for me.

    • @comesitatmytable9044
      @comesitatmytable9044  Год назад +3

      We’re big fans of BLT sandwiches so we go through a lot of bacon and have a lot of bacon grease left overs. We hope you enjoy the green beans prepared this way. It was a new way for me when I joined the family years ago. I still enjoy the Half Runners prepared like my mom does but I’ve grown to love these as well over the years.

    My family some fron Kentucky, some from Texas ,take fresh green beans ,snap them ,. I remember sitting on the front porch snapping beans with my aunt.
    I use boiling onions and small new potatoes, salt pork or bacon.
    We cool them down. Soooo good.
    I made them for pot luck at my work. Every time we had pot luck thay would ask me to make them.
    I will try using can , beans and doctor them up,,. it would be so much faster

    I rinse my green beans after I drain them. I use EVO and cook my onions until tender, then add the rinsed beans😊. I add add enough water to come about half way up! Those canned green beans are already cooked. 😊 They cook about 30 minutes and I bring them to a boil to cook the liquid out and if the beans scorch a little it’s good! I like a lot of pepper an garlic powder plus salt to taste. It may take about an hour and sometimes I will add potatoes during the cooking ,, every time I take them to a dinner everybody loves them! My Mom cooked hers with fatback and cooked them a long time, I just don’t like to cook so I try to speed up the process on everything I was taught and I don’t get any complaints, but I love watching your cooking , I think about my Mama, she would take all day to cook and it was so good but she never had to work like me so I had to learn to do fast meals, Thank you for your wonderful cooking videos❤❤ I relax and love to watch everything you do❤
