Steps:
- Add water to a medium-sized saucepan until about two-thirds of the way full. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Add green beans to water and allow to boil for 6-8 minutes, just until tender.
- Do not allow them to cook far beyond this stage, as they will continue to cook slightly longer once removed from the heat. Immediately drain and transfer to serving dish.
- Toss with butter, salt and pepper. Serve right away and enjoy.

Steps:
- Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
- Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.
OLD SOUTH GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES
An old southern recipe from Mississippi for green beans and potatoes. You can delete the bacon or ham hock and they still taste good. Green beans adds a special taste to potatoes and I love it.

Steps:
- In pot cover green beans with water and boil till tender with potatoes and bacon (or ham hock); drain.
- Add your favorite seasoning (I like butter, salt, and pepper).
- Remember ham hocks take a little longer than green beans, so if you use a ham hock, boil it first till tender then add the rest and cook. I personally never use ham hock due to fat content--I usually just use the bacon strips. I only listed it here as it was in the old south recipe.

AN OLD FAVORITE FOR COOKING FRESH GREEN BEANS

Steps:
- Bring a pan of salted water to a rolling boil. There should be enough water to cover the beans. Add prepared beans a few at a time in order to keep the water boiling. Cook at a rolling boil for a few minutes, then reduce heat to medium for 12 to 15 minutes. Taste from time to time to see if they are done. The raw taste should be cooked away, but the beans should remain fresh tasting and slightlycrisp to the bite. Drain at once, then add butter or crumbled, crisp fried bacon and a little bacon grease. Sliced green onion is also a nice addition.
