My Aunt Alice always made the BEST Green Beans with Bacon.

Fry up 4 slices or so of bacon. Remove bacon to paper towels, crumble.

Keeping the bacon fat in the pan, add your raw, cleaned green beans and brown them a bit in the oil. Lower heat and add some water to the pan, just enough to cover the beans and cover, but keep the cover vented a bit on one side. Steam the beans until they’re to the desired texture, but at least until all of the water is gone. Add the crumbled bacon and some black pepper to taste.

Heaven on a plate! :)

Yummmmm. Your Aunt Alice’s beans sound so good. I’ll stick to cooking fresh or frozen beans since in our modern times we have that luxury. But it’s good to know how to do the Dried beans just in case the you-know-what-hits-the-fan.
