Rob's Green Beans for a Crowd

This is most definitely a Southern dish. As Mark Lowry says, "In the South we COOK our vegetables!" So, if you like your green beans crunchy and bright green, this recipe isn't for you. If you like them "cooked to death," as my Mama would say it, then you will love these!

Industrial-size can green beans
1 lb. bacon, NOT maple

Cut the raw bacon into 1/2-in. pieces and fry until nearly burnt in a large heavy pot.
You want all of the bacon to be really done.
Don't drain the bacon grease and add green beans, undrained, to the pot.
Boil until all of the water is gone and the green beans are frying in the grease, stirring occasionally.
As the water goes down you will have to stir more frequently.


That's it! Super-simple, right? I have had these several times and they are so yummy!
