Southern Green Beans
  • bacon, diced 4 slices
  • green beans, trimmed 2 lbs
  • beef broth 2 cups
  • water 2 cups
  • seasoned salt 1 tsp
  • black pepper 1/2 tsp
  • garlic powder 1/2 tsp
  • red pepper flakes 1/4 tsp
  • butter 1 tbsp
  1. Brown and crisp bacon in a large pot. Remove bacon from pot and reserve.
  2. Add green beans to pot along with all remaining ingredients, except butter.
  3. Bring to a boil and then turn heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Drain beans and add butter if using. Check beans for seasoning and add extra salt and pepper to taste. I like lots of black pepper. Sprinkle with bacon and toss to distribute the bacon and butter.
