OLD SOUTH GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES



Old South Green Beans and Potatoes image

An old southern recipe from Mississippi for green beans and potatoes. You can delete the bacon or ham hock and they still taste good. Green beans adds a special taste to potatoes and I love it.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 CUPS, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs fresh green beans
2 slices bacon or 1 ham hock
3 medium potatoes
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In pot cover green beans with water and boil till tender with potatoes and bacon (or ham hock); drain.
  • Add your favorite seasoning (I like butter, salt, and pepper).
  • Remember ham hocks take a little longer than green beans, so if you use a ham hock, boil it first till tender then add the rest and cook. I personally never use ham hock due to fat content--I usually just use the bacon strips. I only listed it here as it was in the old south recipe.

MY FAMILY'S FAVORITE: MISSISSIPPI GREEN BEANS



MY FAMILY'S FAVORITE: MISSISSIPPI GREEN BEANS image

What makes Mississippi greens beans so irresistible? The secret is in the sauce. The butter, EVOO, bacon, brown sugar and soy cook into a thick, sweet, smoky, salty syrup that melts into the beans during slow cooking and makes them over the top delicious. They're my family's favorite green beans, so I make them all the time....
