Green Beans With Liquid Smoke Food

SWEET AND SMOKY BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• In a heavy pot, cook the bacon over medium heat to render the fat, about 5 minutes. Discard all but 2 tablespoons fat.
• Add the onion, pepper, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans, molasses, barbecue sauce, ketchup, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustards, vinegar, and liquid smoke. Simmer the beans, uncovered, until rich and thickly flavored, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Alternatively, place the baked beans in a deep baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper, or any other ingredient to taste.

SMOKEY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients.
• Cover & cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.

CROCK POT GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• This recipe fills my crock pot that is why I use 2 pots, one for mixing one for cooking, If your cooking this on the stove you'll only need one.
• Chop bacon into small size pieces. Remember when cooking they will absorb the water and get bigger.
• In skillet over low-med heat brown bacon, transfer to big bowl or pot.
• (Use as much onion as you wish I do use more than one small one).
• Cook onion in bacon fat until translucent, you may want to remove some of the bacon fat-depends on your diet preference.
• Rub a little bacon fat around sides of crock pot.
• Drain water of store canned beans in sink, add all ingredients into over size pot mix and dump into crock pot.
• Then add water to barely cover.
• OR at this point barely cover with water in your stove pot, cover with lid cook on low all day.
• To add zip add a little crushed red pepper flakes.
• Add recommended amount of warm water, for the crock pot.
• My pot is 2 -1/2 qt and I add 3/4 to 1 full quart of water, so I add just until I can see the water line in the crock pot.
• I also add 2 strips of uncooked bacon on top.
• If you do not like bacon fat or can not use,( sub what ever kind of fat you desire, it is also good with butter .) To adjust for flavor I would use Wright's All Natural Hickory Seasoning, Liquid Smoke Concentrate. If you do not use Wright's your on your own! I have tried others but found they do not have the flavor I want, and just do not taste right.
• Cover set on low all day.a minimum of 4 hours better after 6.
• Now you might think this will serve a lot of people but remember they cook down.
• Note: Grandma cooked 2 quarts for 6 people, she would cook these all day on low on the stove.

LICK THE PAN GREEN BEANS!

Steps:

• Place olive oil in the bottom of a medium to large saucepan.
• Put green beans in pan, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over the beans.
• Pour in water.
• Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium low, cover partially, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the water is almost completely gone, stirring occasionally.
• This is approximate, so check every so often, you may need to add a little more water to get beans cooked to desired doneness.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
• Note: My sister loves to add Greek seasoning and a few dashes of liquid smoke to this. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
