My beloved and very much missed Grandmother was always asked to bring these to family gatherings.. The woman knew how to cook, raising 8 kids, 6 of them being girls, I think it's fair to say- she had a PHD.. .. I only wish I had more of her recipes to share..

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
1/2 cup yellow onion (chopped)
4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans green beans (any brand)
1/2 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 cup water

Directions

1
Fry bacon til' it's crisp, on the stovetop. Add onion, cook until tender.
2
Drain "all" liquid off of canned green beans.
3
Add beans to bacon and onion mixture.
4
Add bullion cube and water.
5
Cook very slowly until beans "shrivel".
6
Sometimes, ok well maybe always I have this compulsive need to add things to whatever I am cooking, and 98% of the time you can beat it's gonna be GARLIC or SPICES. Soo- there ya' go. Add in some garlic if you dare, or maybe some seasoning salt? :) But whatever you do- ENJOY!

I think you made this for me and I really liked it. Saw the review for the garlic and cracked pepper... good thinking. Didn't think this dish could get any better!

This is so yummy. I make mine a lot like this but without the chicken bouillon. DH wanted to know what was different tonight... He thought I had used a different bacon. The chicken bouillon really sets this off. Thanks, Mama Jen for posting.

This recipe is very much like the one my grandmother made too. The chicken flavor adds something to the mix. I did add in one clove of garlic and cracked black pepper and used only two cans of Italian green beans. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Reviewed for PAC Fall '07.
