This is the traditional way to make Southern green beans. I make these in the summer when green beans are plentiful. Very easy and they smell sooo good while they are cooking!
Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped into 1-inch pieces
5 slices bacon, cut into small pieces (or one smoked ham hock)
salt and pepper (be careful though not to over salt though as the bacon makes them salty enough)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/3 cups water
Directions:
1. Combine ingredients in large saucepan.
2. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour.
