Default GREEN BEANS SIMMERED IN BEEF BROTH

GREEN BEANS SIMMERED IN BEEF BROTH

You determine the amount of ingredients; experiment and
make it your own.

BACON- cut into one inch squares.

GREEN BEANS-(even frozen will do well in a pinch).

ONIONS- Thinly sliced.

BEEF BROTH OR STOCK. (Enough to mostly cover Beans in pot).

BLACK PEPPER- I like freshly ground.

MARJORAM- A good few pinches to taste.

ALLSPICE- A dash or two (optional).


1) Fry Bacon to near crisp. Drain most of fat.

2) Add all ingredients to large enough sized pot.

3) Simmer slowly, stirring often till Beans and Onions
are mostly tender.

4) Remove from heat and let cool completely.

5) Tastes best if refridgerated overnight and reheated
slowly the next day to full tenderness. The Beans
soak up the full flavor of all ingredients this way.

6) Serve with slotted spoon.

***Makes a very good family meal side dish. I make it
every Thanksgiving. It adds an interesting Beefy-
oniony contrast to the poultry and other fixins'.
