I made the "Smothered Country-Style Green Beans" when my neighbor gave me three pounds of Kentucky pole beans. When she cooks them, they end up battleship grey and beg to be put out of their misery.
So I wanted something slightly fresher for them. Or at least with a hint of green left over.
I added sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions to the already diced onions...and the 1/2 CUP of bacon fat. Plus I cooked a few slices of thick bacon slices to dress the top....because...BACON.
Their family got 3/4 of the meal and I enjoyed the rest.
They sure do sound yummy! I love green beans. I didn’t discover that until I was an adult because as a kid we only had canned green beans, so entirely different. I’m not sure how you cook them till they turn gray, but I’m sure your version was beloved by all..
