    This is the way I have cooked my green beans .The one thing I don't add tomato because of my problem with acid. But it is the BEST ever.. I learned this from my grandma. I saw a recipe the other day with canned beans and 2 other ingredients. Thay claimed it was the best. Guess what.. IT WASN'T . I could not eat them so that was a waste of food. Oh well., I know what I like and don't like so I am sticking with my favorites.

    Thank You for posting this.

    Mom, (RIP) was a southern girl, made green beans almost exactly as this. Dad liked gardening each summer we had a ton o' green beans so this became a staple with dinner. Often served along side of a slice of country ham or just hamburgers and mashed potatoes. Simple peasant food but SO good!!!

    Starting with a bit of bacon or ham, the onions, beans, a wee bit of chicken stock/water would simmer for several hours. Little more than salt/pepper for seasoning. Occasionally added a bit of med. diced red potatoes but not really needed. Never the tomato as you suggested. I think this might upset the simple but tasty umami flavor.

    By itself the resulting broth on buttered bread or toast is a taste treat. Simple but yummy!! Now that the green beans are in season, think I need to make a pot tomorrow.

    Great recipe! As a southerner, I have to say thank you for not putting vinegar in the southern green beans recipe. I have been to many events and restaurants that include vinegar in their southern green bean dish.

    My mom, who was from Texas, made these on the regular, she also did a very similar dish with okra instead of the green beans. I think I’ll make some just for old time’s sake. Thanks, CJ!

    This recipe is great. As a southerner, I make this all the time. I use the green beans that went a little too long on the vine that aren't as tender. Great way to use them as it makes them really soft and succulent. Sprig of rosemary gives a bit more too it too.

    John's heart was not in the singsong "as always… enjoy!" in this one. On the other hand, he finally convinced me he doesn't just play a pre-recorded clip at the end of each video 🙂

    Carolina boy here. Green beans may be the only vegetable that MUST be cooked for a long time. There are few things I dislike more than the squeak that comes from biting an undercooked green bean.
