TEXAS ROADHOUSE GREEN BEANS (COPYCAT)



Texas Roadhouse Green Beans (Copycat) image

We really like these green beans at TRH and after a little searching found this recipe. Recipe is courtesy of WTVR, Richmond, VA. When a friend of mine started working there, I asked if this is how they prepare their green beans and she shook her head yes, but said no with a smile. I have included both variations for this recipe; choose the one to your liking. Cook/simmer time is approximate.

TEXAS-STYLE CROCK POT BRISKET AND BEANS



Texas-Style Crock Pot Brisket and Beans image

An easy way to make a nice brisket. The beans in this recipe are wonderful - sometimes I just make a big pot of the beans alone. Even though I love the convenience of my crock pot, I feel that cooking in the crock pot generally overcooks any meat. However, in this case, with brisket, it is pretty darn good, especially with the delicious beans on the side! I sometimes find that the liquid gets a little low, when it is cooking. If this occurs, you can do any of the following, as needed: double the sauce recipe to add later, add some bottled barbecue sauce, or add a can of beer. Enjoy!
