Southern Style Green Beans with Bacon

February 26, 2022 by Zoe Nguyen-Patalano Leave a Comment

I grew up in the Tennessee, so I absolutely love eating Southern Style Green Beans that have been slow cooked in bacon and chicken stock. They are so tender, melt-in-your-mouth, and they are the perfect side dish to go along with any Southern dish (like fried chicken, meatloaf, etc.)

Green beans are so delicious, and this recipe is so easy to make. You cook the bacon until it’s nearly cooked, at the same time you’re cooking the onion, then add the trimmed green beans and chicken stock, and let it simmer on low for an hour and a half. You can cook your main dish in between this time, and dinner’s ready in no time at all.

I love this recipe for Southern Style green beans. It’s easy and so, so good. Enjoy!
