This recipe has been a family favorite for years. It was published in the Texas Favorites Cookbook by HEB in 1985. It is a great alternative to Green Bean Casserole. I like it for the soul appeal!
Soulful Green Beans
- 2 lbs. fresh green beans
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 2 small onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of water
- 2 tsp. salt
- 3/4 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
Wash, remove tips, and string green beans if necessary. Snap into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Fry bacon and onions till brown in large heavy sauce pan or Dutch oven. Add green beans, water, salt, sugar, and pepper. Heat to boiling. Cover pan. Lower heat, simmer 20 to 30 minutes until beans are tender.
