Southern Style Green Beans

Southern Style Green Beans

serves 6

2 pounds green beans, washed, tipped, and snapped in half

6 cups chicken stock, or enough to cover the beans

2 slices bacon, about 1 1/2 ounces, cut in half

1 small yellow onion, peeled, and cut in half leaving the root end in tact

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Kosher salt to taste

Place the beans, chicken broth, bacon, onion and black pepper in a large, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to barely a simmer, cover and cook for 1 1/2-2 hours or until the beans are tender. Taste for seasoning and add salt and more black pepper if needed. Transfer to a dish and serve. Enjoy!
