SOUTHERN-STYLE GREEN BEANS WITH BACON AND NEW POTATOES
Steps:
- In a large saucepan or medium Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until it has rendered most of its fat and has begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pan and simmer until the beans are very tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to keep the beans covered. As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the beans before cooking.
- Soak the green beans: Soaking the beans in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking helps them to retain their color and nutrients.
- Cook the bacon until crispy: This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Sauté the onions until softened: This will help to bring out their sweetness.
- Add the green beans and potatoes to the slow cooker: Be sure to stir them to coat them in the bacon fat and onion mixture.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and the beans and potatoes to become tender.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before serving.
