My mom loved to eat fresh snapped green beans. The secret was in the seasonings. They were simple and delicious. Everything in her kitchen had four basic ingredients: Salt, Fat, Heat, & A Lot of LOVE.
The Green Beans start with Bacon Grease. Every Southern Kitchen has. a container of Bacon Grease. Take a teaspoon scoop of bacon fat for each cup of green beans.
