Momma's Southern Green Beans
from ButterYum
makes 4-6 servings
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
6 ounces bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
6 ounces yellow onion, sliced
2 cups low or no-sodium chicken stock (try my awesome recipe) - see note below
1 tablespoon bacon drippings (optional)
Directions
In a 4-quart skillet or casserole pan over medium-high heat, cook bacon until brown, stirring frequently.
Add sliced onions to the bacon and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add green beans, low or no-sodium chicken stock, and optional bacon drippings; bring stock to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cover pan; simmer for 1 hour.
Remove cover and stir green beans.
Increase heat to medium-low; cook for an additional hour, uncovered, until stock reduced down to just a few tablespoons.
Note
If you don’t have low or no-sodium chicken stock, substitute 1/2 cup regular chicken stock plus 1 1/2 cups water.
