MOM'S MOLASSES HAM AND BEANS

- Bake 30-45 minutes or until potatoes are browned.
Tips:
- Use fresh green beans. Fresh green beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned beans.
- Trim the green beans. Before cooking, trim the ends of the green beans and remove any strings.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. Green beans should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Use good quality bacon or ham. The quality of the bacon or ham will affect the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the green beans, don't overcrowd the pan or they will not cook evenly.
- Season the green beans to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the green beans hot. Green beans are best served hot, straight from the pan.
