Ingredients
- 8 small new potatoes, halved if large
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices bacon, cut into thirds
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed
Instructions
- In a large saucepan or medium Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until it has rendered most of its fat and has begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pan and simmer until the beans are very tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to keep the beans covered. As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.

Better than mama’s!
Just like grandmas, add salt and pepper to taste after cooking too
This is a good way to do fresh green beans! Sauté the bacon in the sauce pan to give everything a good flavor. (Next time I would cut the bacon into small pieces to start) It doesn’t take nearly an hour to get everything (beans and potatoes) to the finish line. Just keep an eye on the doneness and pull it when it’s ready for your taste. Yum!
I garnish with sliced green onions and serve with cornbread.
