Directions: |
Directions:• In a large dutch oven that has a lid, cook the bacon until done (not real crisp) and set on paper towel to drain. Keep grease in the pan.
• Add the chopped onion and sauté until it begins to soften.
• Add the green beans and toss in the grease to coat.
• Add about 2 – 3 cups of water, enough to cover the green beans.
• Add the Basil, Bay leaves, Thyme, Garlic powder, salt & pepper and stir.
• Cook on medium for about 10 min, until you see the water beginning to boil.
• Turn heat to low, let cook another 45 min – 1hr at least (I let mine cook 2 hrs sometimes for better flavor).
** If you like, you can add small red potatoes to the pot…about 6 – 8….and cook until the potatoes are tender. |

Notes: Wendi learned how to make these awesome green beans from her grandmother, Wanda Davis Wilson, when she was about 6 years old and has been making them ever since. One of Wendi's fondest memories is sitting out on the porch with her Pappaw "snapp'n" beans.
