"Sometimes you want that deep Southern flavor that you can only get from fresh green beans cooked with bacon,but you really don't have time to cook them from scratch.Well several years ago my sister Flora,taught me a way to make canned green beans taste pretty close to what you might've been cooking from fresh all day long. Since I didn't list any salt or pepper to the recipe,that's going to be strictly up to you.This recipe is easily doubled,but I suggest only three pieces of bacon.Submitted to " ZAZZ "on 9/13/13.
