My husband wants desperately for me to patent and sell this recipe to a canner, but I want to share it with you! It is a huge hit at Thanksgiving and Christmas in place of the standard green bean casserole.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 6 slices bacon, or more to taste

  • ½ cup water

  • ¼ cup brown sugar, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable seasoning salt (such as McCormick® Vegetable Supreme® Seasoning)

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and halved

  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon bacon drippings. Crumble bacon.

  2. Bring water to a boil in a skillet. Add brown sugar, vegetable seasoning, and bacon drippings to water; cook and stir until brown sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add green beans and bacon to brown sugar mixture; season with salt. Reduce heat and simmer until green beans reach desired tenderness, about 10 minutes.
