Green Beans Southern Style Make 8 servings
		Categories: Soups

Ingredients

1.00	each	Green (Bell) pepper,
		Size of golf balls),opt'l
6.00	small	New potatoes, (about the
0.50	lb	Sliced smoked bacon,
2.00	lb	Green beans, trimmed
1.00	large	White onion, chopped
		Salt (it won't need much) And black pepper to taste

Preparation

If the beans are very small and tender, leave them whole. Otherwise,

cut in half lengthwise (known for some obscure reason as

"Frenching"), and cut the individual beans into bite-sized lengths.

Place the beans, onion, pepper, bacon into a large stewing pot. Cover

with water. Cover the pot, and cook on low heat until the beans are

very tender (2-3 hours is about right -- these are NOT supposed to be

crisp). About 30 minutes before serving, add the potatoes if used,

and season to taste. Don't worry about overcooking the beans, you

can't -- they're supposed to be a dull green and very tender

:-)

Serve the beans, along with a generous portion of the liquid, and the

potatoes, if used. This may be used as an accompaniment for any

Southern-style meal, or may serve, with cornbread or biscuits on the

side, as a meal itself.
