Report

Warning: these green beans can be addictive! Made with bacon, brown sugar, onion, garlic, soy sauce and simmered in broth for hours, you can easily see why.

Instructions

Get out and measure your ingredients.
In a large pan, heat your reserved bacon grease and butter and add the onion and garlic.
Cook for 4 minutes, stirring often.
Add the brown sugar, soy sauce and chicken broth.
Stir in the green beans and gently simmer over low heat until the liquid is nearly gone. This may take up to 2 hours but is worth every minute.
Add the bacon to the green beans and cook for an additional few minutes to warm bacon.
Serve.
Enjoy every bite!

Notes

I prefer fresh green beans for this dish, but you can use canned for a quicker version. One key to this dish is the long simmer time. Let them simmer until nearly all the broth is gone.
If you are in a hurry, you can cook this over medium heat. Remove from the stove when most of the broth has evaporated.
