  • Sometimes, ok well maybe always I have this compulsive need to add things to whatever I am cooking, and 98% of the time you can beat it's gonna be GARLIC or SPICES. Soo- there ya' go. Add in some garlic if you dare, or maybe some seasoning salt? :) But whatever you do- ENJOY!

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 slices thick-cut bacon
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced small
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fried onions

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
  • Add the onion and jalapeño and cook for a minute or two, then add the green beans. Cook until the green beans are bright green, an additional minute. Add the chicken stock, garlic powder and a good pinch of both salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and lightly cover, allowing the some of the steam to escape. Cook until the liquid is evaporated and the beans are starting to soften, but still have a bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the beans to a serving vessel. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the top of the beans, along with the fried onions.

Categories     side-dish

Time 10h15m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cloves garlic
2 medium carrots
1 serrano chile
1 large white onion
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin, or more as desired
2 cups dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
1 orange, halved
1 tablespoon salt, or more as desired

Steps:

  • Rough chop the garlic, carrot, serrano and onion into small pieces. Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped vegetables and 1 teaspoon cumin to the pot and cook until the onion starts to brown.
  • Strain the beans and add them to the pot. Pour in enough water to just cover the beans. Cover and bring them to a boil. Stir, then cover again and lower to a simmer. Simmer the beans until they start to burst, around 1 hour.
  • Uncover the pot and add the orange, squeezing the juice into the pot and then dropping the halves in. Stir in the remaining teaspoon cumin and the salt. Continue to simmer to allow the beans to thicken, about 45 minutes more. Add more cumin and salt to taste.
  • Serve as a side dish, over rice, or on their own on a taco.

Tips:

  • Use fresh green beans for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim the green beans by snapping off the ends.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Make sure the bacon is cooked until it is crispy.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for the best flavor.
  • Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish the green beans with fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Conclusion:

Grandma Mac's Green Beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The green beans are cooked to perfection and the bacon, balsamic vinegar, and seasonings add a delicious flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
