... this post is about how to make green beans fit to eat...

.. burn some sausage and bacon in a cast iron skillet..



... add green beans .. season..and stir them all around in the hot grease ..



... after they’re good and singed .. add a little water and scrape the skillet to mix all the burnt meat pieces in



... add more water and simmer until beans are tender

I'd eat that.

Other than the bacon, you just ruined some green beans. Better let the lady do the cooking if it ain’t on the grill

No onions?

Yep.......Momma left the kids home with Dad again.

Thank you, savell.

Them beans should absorb enough of the good stuff to make them taste pretty good. But like someone else mentioned, could have used some onions too.

... y’all hands don’t be shy now... put some better ways to fix em up in here

Green bean casserole with tater tots and hamburger is always good.

... how is a “casserole” made? I don’t believe I’ve ever had one

Chunk of salt pork and a slow simmer makes for some good beans.

If ya go to a family get together, the ones that brought a casserole are the ones that can’t cook. Anybody can fix a casserole. What ever you want in it an add cheese. That simple, I refuse to eat it.

Throw stuff together and bake it.

When gutting and quartering a deer, I always leave the casserole with the gut pile.

You cook bacon. A bunch of it, not the couple pieces you got floating around in there. When it's half done, add some diced yeller onion. Stir all that around until the onions cooked. Add the green beans, and a little water, and simmer it, covered, all day until the beans are falling apart.

Anybody too good to eat casserole ain't never been hungry!

I’ve been plenty hungry. So hungry I wanted a wish sandwich. 2 pieces of bread and wish I had something to put in the middle.

Would you call Pig Ears & Beans cooked by my grandmother a casserole? Me neither!

But, back to those beans. Chunk up a couple onions and throw in the pot. It’ll be good!

Ya picked them to early. Wait till ya can make baked beans out of them with those other ingredients.

that Texan’s finna have more snap bean recipes than he can shake a stick at…

That’d be good savell.


What I do is wet the bottom of a pot with oil OR a healthy helping of cut up bacon. Then I throw in some smoked meat like tasso, smoked ribs, smoked turkey wings, etc.

As soon as the meat gets sizzling, I start cutting up some onions. Yellow, green, red, whatever I have on hand. Throw them in too.... when they start to wilt, I’ll throw in a few cups of broth. Chicken/beef, it’s your preference... stir.


Throw in snap beans and cook until tender. Add seasoning to taste. Add water as needed. Adding a lid to the early stages let’s me cook them down without losing as much water. A lot of the seasoning depends on how much seasoned meat was added.
