Reluctant but eager...
frhodes%40sbcglobal.net - November 19, 2006 03:48:24 PM PSTI am eager to try this recipe, but I am reluctant to do so at the same time since I can not believe the recipe REALLY calls for a 5 to 6 hour cooking time. There shouldn't be more than avacado-coloured mush after that long of time. I am going to experiment with a much, much shorter cooking period. The recipe SOUNDS so tasty, I am going to risk it!

what the...?
heather lee s - November 19, 2006 09:52:18 PM PSTI'm a professional chef and I can't imagine doing this to fresh green beans. A type-o to be sure. In this case, why not just save "hours" of time and start with canned beans, or baby food for that matter? Ha ha, entertaining, though...

5-6 HOURS
tfpat67 - November 19, 2006 02:13:24 PM PSTYou must mean 5-6 minutes because in 5-6 hours the green beans will definitely be blackened to a crisp. Also, I would boil the beans in lightly salted water for a few minutes then add the beans and the garlic at the same timeto the bacon mixture. Frying the garlic with the bacon will make the garlic burnt & bitter. Add black pepper for a truly blackened taste.

Not a type-o....
Anna - November 19, 2007 01:56:23 PM PSTIf you have never cooked fresh green beans before then you have no idea! It would take 5 - 6 hours if you are cooking them on low. Key word - LOW!! This recipe sounds great, but since I'm not very patient to wait on the fresh green beans I think I will use canned, drained of course. It sounds very delicious. And if I had the time and patience I would definitly use the fresh beans. They have a much better taste to them. Thanks for the recipe!! :)

Best southern-style green beans
bartys2 - November 14, 2007 08:46:56 PM PSTA very good friend from Tennessee gave me a similar recipe several years ago. Cook fresh green beans, coated in bacon grease, all day on LOW. "Low" being the key word. Best southern style green beans I have ever eaten. Everyone always ask that I bring the green beans!
