SOUTHERN STYLE SEASONED GREEN BEANS (FROM CANNED)



Southern Style Seasoned Green Beans (From Canned) image

A lot of folks simply open a couple of cans of green beans, heat, add a bit of butter...and wonder why no one eats them! This simple little "tweak" turns them into a delicious, satisfying side that'll change the way you think of canned green beans.

Provided by Soleilbb

Categories     Low Protein

Time 40m

Yield 4 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans (not french-style)
4 slices thick-cut bacon
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
salt

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for bright green beans that snap when you break them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any tough strings.
  • Blanch the beans: Blanching the beans helps to preserve their color and crunch. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Season the beans: There are many different ways to season green beans. Some popular options include butter, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and lemon juice. You can also add herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
  • Cook the beans: Green beans can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, sautéing, and roasting. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.

Conclusion:

Green beans are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their mild flavor and crunchy texture, they are a great addition to any meal. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a more elaborate main course, there is a green bean recipe out there to suit your needs. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious vegetable to add to your meal, reach for some green beans.
