- 1. In a large pot pour both cans of green beans with juices and add both bags of frozen green beans. You won't need to add water at this point.

It'll be hard but try to keep your composure and southern etiquette while these are cooking. The aroma is heavenly and mesmerizing. It'll make you say and do things you normally wouldn't! When your beans look limp and dark green in color-they're done. Pour a heap onto your plate and enjoy!
