GREEN BEANS

GREEN BEANS

OK, SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RECIPES WHERE YOU WANT TO USE YOUR BACON FAT, YOU KNOW THE STUFF WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME. I TAKE MY KNIFE AND DIG A GLOB OF FAT OUT OF MY BACON FAT CUP AND PUT IT IN MY PAN TO HEAT UP, THEN I ADD SOME SLICED ONION. I USUALLY USE ONE WHOLE ONION. YOU CAN USE HOWEVER MUCH YOU LIKE, BUT I LIKE ONION AND THINK EVERYTHING TASTES BETTER WITH IT.
COOK THE ONION TIL IT GETS SOFT AND STARTS TO BROWN A LITTLE BIT. I THEN ADD 2 CANS OF GREEN BEANS AND 1 PINT OF MY HOME CANNED HORTICULTURE BEANS. NOW I KNOW PROBABLY NO ONE ELSE OUT THERE HAS EVER HEARD OF THESE. MY MOTHER IN LAW HAS CANNED THEM FOR YEARS, SO THAT'S WHERE I FIRST FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU COULD JUST USE PINTO BEANS IN THEIR PLACE.
JUST COOK AS YOU NORMALLY DO UNTIL THEY ARE HEATED THROUGH. THESE WILL GET NICE AND CREAMY LOOKING FROM THE JUICE THAT IS ON THE HORTICULTURE OR PINTO BEANS.
I JUST LOVE THESE GREEN BEANS. IT'S HARD TO GO BACK TO JUST PLAIN OLE GREEN BEANS OUT OF A CAN AFTER HAVING THESE.
ENJOY!
