Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a heavy sauce pan (do not crisp the bacon, just cook enough to extract the drippings). Remove from heat.
- Empty the 2 cans of cut green beans into the sauce pan directly on top of the cooked bacon and drippings.
- Add salt to taste and then the 1/4 teaspoons of minced garlic. Stir well and return to heat.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to med-low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes (1 hour is better).
- Serve and enjoy.
- NOTE - Use good quality canned green beans. My family prefers "flat beans" (Cut Italian Green Beans), but regular cut will taste just as good.

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot, add all ingredients (add just enough water to cover the beans) and bring to a rolling boil. Turn down heat and boil until green beans begin to change color.
- 2. Meanwhile, wash and sterilize jar flaps and quart or pint jars (whichever you want to can in). Into pressure cooker pot, fill with hot water until about 1/4 full of water. Place pressure cooker on stove eye you will be cooking on (this saves back breaking labor of lifting heavy pot filled with jars later).
- 3. When jars are full, leave about a 1/4 - 1/2 inch head space at the top of the jar to allow for expansion as pressuring. Fill jar with hot liquid that beans have cooked in also leaving a headspace to allow for expansion. Place filled jar into pressure cooker pot, do not put lids on at this point as they may seal, then will unseal as pressuring and they may not reseal.
- 4. When green beans have boiled and changed color, with a slotted spoon, carefully put hot jars into a bowl (to keep from getting hot liquid everywhere) and fill with hot green beans, pressing down often with a spoon (you can get a lot more beans in a jar this way). Continue filling jars until pressure cooker is to capacity or until you run out of beans (sometimes I have some left over and I'll put them in the frig with the liquid until I can again and then I'll start with them.)
- 5. Put jar flaps and rings on jars and tighten, not TOO tight, now, wait until you remove them from the pressure cooker, then tighten lids. Place top on pressure cooker, then "jiggler" (pressure gauge). Pressure according to your pressure cooker direction book - mine says to pressure green bean quarts 25 minutes and pints 20 minutes at 10 lb. pressure. After cooking required time, remove cooker from eye of stove and set aside to cool. DO NOT remove "jiggler" (pressure gauge) or open top until cooled or you will lose liquid from jars or maybe scraping green beans off the ceiling.
- 6. When pressure has gone down and pot is cooled, remove jars from water

GOOD CANNED GREEN BEANS - FROM BLAND CANNED TO GARDEN FRESH
This is how I make my green beans in the winter, when I don't have access to fresh produce. Growing up, my mother never would use canned green beans because she said they were disgusting and lacked flavor. When I got older, someone told me to cook them with oil, and that got me started on the quest for the perfect way to doctor canned green beans to make them taste closer to fresh. And here it is! (TIP: I love the big can of Hanover green beans, in the white can. They seem to have better flavor.)
