Southern Style Green Beans

By RoketJSquerl

Ingredients

• 2 pounds fresh green beans
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 tablespoons bacon drippings*
• 1 cup chicken broth (water will work fine too)
• 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium-high heat (feel free to just chop up some bacon and cook it down a little with the onions rather than just using the drippings). Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add beans and continue sautéing for an additional 5 minutes or until onions are translucent.

Add beans and onions to a medium-sized saucepan. Add chicken broth and salt, stir to combine, then cover and cook over medium-low heat for one hour, stirring occasionally.
