COUNTRY GREEN BEANS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Grab a good sized pot.
• Set the heat on the stove to medium high.
• Cook the bacon in the pot until brown, but not crunchy (include onion in this step cooked until translucent if desired).
• Add canned beans with juice to pot, making sure to stir the bacon and its juices into liquid.
• Add pepper sauce, salt, and pepper to pot.
• Leave on medium-high heat, uncovered, until beans and liquid come to a slight boil.
• When a boil is achieved, stir, turn the heat down to medium-low and cover (adjust the heat so the beans are just about boiling with the cover on but not boiling out of the pot).
• Cook for 1 hour, stirring every 10-20 minutes.
• Add more spices if desired (take a taste test every now and then).
• For fresh beans, before cooking as directed above, boil beans in enough water to cover + 1 teaspoon salt for 5 minutes (I feel this helps get rid of the strange taste some fresh green beans have).
• Drain.
• Add fresh green beans to recipe as indicated, but add enough water to cover once more.
