Ingredients:
| 2
| lbs | Green beans, trimmed | | | -and washed | | 1
| large | White onion, chopped | | 1
| | Green (Bell) pepper | | | -chopped | | 1/2
| lbs | Sliced smoked bacon | | | -cut into squares | | | Salt (it won't need much) | | | And black pepper to taste | | 6
| small | New potatoes, (about the | | | Size of golf balls), opt'l |
|
Procedures:
| 1 | If the beans are very small and tender, leave them whole. | | 2 | Otherwise, cut in half lengthwise (known for some obscure reason as "frenching"), and cut the individual beans into bite-sized lengths. | | 3 | Place the beans, onion, pepper, bacon into a large stewing pot. | | 4 | Cover with water. | | 5 | Cover the pot, and cook on low heat until the beans are very tender (2-3 hours is about right -- these are not supposed to be crisp). | | 6 | About 30 minutes before serving, add the potatoes if used, and season to taste. | | 7 | Don"t worry about overcooking the beans, you can"t -- they"re supposed to be a dull green and very tender :-) serve the beans, along with a generous portion of the liquid, and the potatoes, if used. | | 8 | This may be used as an accompaniment for any southern-style meal, or may serve, with cornbread or biscuits on the side, as a meal itself. | | 9 | Kathy in bryan, tx |
