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.

Provided by mzander

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (16-ounce) cans Del Monte green beans, drained
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped or minced garlic
4 ounces bacon, diced (raw) or 4 ounces ham (cooked)
1/2 medium onion, diced

Steps:

  • Drain green beans and set aside. Broth Mixture: Mix broth, butter, sugar, peppers and salt until well incorporated. Set aside. Preheat a deep pan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon pieces down till they are brick red, add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, add some chopped garlic then add the broth mixture, let the broth simmer for 20 minutes then add the green beans to the broth mixture. Stir to incorporate. Bring mixture to a boil and then turn off heat. You do not boil or simmer the green beans for long, just enough to heat through, this is important so that you don't overcook them. TIP: They are best made a day in advance to absorb the broth.

Tips:

  • Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans have a better flavor and texture than frozen or canned beans.
  • Trim the green beans properly: Trim the ends of the green beans, but don't remove too much. You want to keep as much of the bean as possible.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp: Don't overcook the green beans, or they will become mushy. Cook them until they are just tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The quality of the bacon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a thick-cut, smoked bacon for the best results.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the bacon, don't crowd the pan. This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help to prevent the green beans from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the green beans well: Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley: Garnish the green beans with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
