One of my favorite sides is a dish I call “White Trash Green Beans.” The only reason I call it that is the usage of frozen green beans (instead of fresh) that are cooked to H-E-Double Hockey Sticks. And, of course, fresh green beans are great. This is just one of those dishes I can make about any old time, as I usually have frozen green beans in the freezer. It’s an easy, Southern staple around here. Here’s what you’ll need:
Frozen Green Beans, Onion, Bacon Fat, Salt, White Pepper and Brown Sugar.
Thinly slice the onions. While wiping your tears, melt the bacon fat in a large skillet (with a lid).
Toss the sliced onions in the melted fat and cover.
Cook over medium-low heat until soft.
Add salt, pepper and brown sugar. Stir.
Pour frozen green beans over and replace lid.
After a few minutes, stir. Cook, with lid on, until green beans have reached desired level of doneness.
You may prefer your green beans a little crisp. I, on the other hand…
…like my White Trash Green Beans unreasonably soft!
That’s it, friends. Taste for seasoning and serve!
