Notes: Everyone seems to love this dish. Over the past 30 years or so my family and friends seems to ask for Pa's Green Beans more than any other side dish that I make. There is never anything leftover. Play around with this recipe. I like fresh green beans over canned. You have to cook the beans much longer in the chicken stock to tenderize them but I think the end results is worth it Add more bacon if you like. Fact; bacon grease is the backbone of the dish for sure! Adjust you condiments to suit your personal likes. Try fresh lemon juice in lieu of vinegar, more or less sugar (I have never like more sugar but you need little to offset the acid) and vary the hot sauce and Lee & Perrin's.
