GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large pot, bring to a boil, then turn to medium low and cook about 1 1/2 hours until potatoes are done and water has cooked down. You can also do this in the crockpot and let cook on low 6 to 7 hours or high 4 hours.

SOUTHERN STYLE GREEN BEANS & POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash and trim beans then cut into 2-inch pieces; set aside.
• Cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces then sauté over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven until browned.
• Add onion and beans to the bacon then continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cut potatoes into large cubes then add to pot. Add chicken broth (enough to cover potatoes), butter, salt and pepper to the pot then bring to a boil.
• Cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low then cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let rest 15 minutes before serving.

SOUTHERN-STYLE GREEN BEANS WITH BACON AND NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or medium Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until it has rendered most of its fat and has begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pan and simmer until the beans are very tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to keep the beans covered. As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.

OLD SOUTH GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In pot cover green beans with water and boil till tender with potatoes and bacon (or ham hock); drain.
• Add your favorite seasoning (I like butter, salt, and pepper).
• Remember ham hocks take a little longer than green beans, so if you use a ham hock, boil it first till tender then add the rest and cook. I personally never use ham hock due to fat content--I usually just use the bacon strips. I only listed it here as it was in the old south recipe.

DOWN-SOUTH STYLE GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Combine the water, ham hock, and lard in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season with seasoning salt, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and add green beans. Simmer covered for about 2 hours.

• Place the chopped bacon in a skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon pieces on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Melt the butter in a skillet with a lid over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked bacon, green beans, potatoes, garlic, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat until the green beans are tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with vinegar, salt, and pepper, and serve.
