Author: Loaves and Dishes
- 2 14.5 oz green beans canned (1 home canned quart)
- 2 cloves garlic or 1 tsp, minced
- 2 Tbs butter
- 1 Tbs brown sugar
- 2 strips of bacon - raw - cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp vinegar
- 1 dash cayenne pepper or hot sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste Usually about 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper
Mix all of the above listed ingredients together in the
crockpot and set on low. Cook for 6-8 hours.
Basic info:
- Do not worry about putting raw bacon in this dish, it cooks along with the beans and imparts amazing flavor.
- Home canned beans beat store bought beans hands down any day. If you don't have home canned then store bought are fine.
- Drain the water from the canned beans first.
Substitutions:
- For Butter: Vegetable oil or any unflavored grease but not olive oil. Olive oil adds a different flavor. You could also use bacon grease if you have it.
- For Chicken Broth: 1 bouillon cube plus 1 cup of water.
- Instead of brown sugar: It's ok to use granulated white sugar, raw sugar, honey or maple syrup but the honey and maple syrup will impart a different taste.
- Bacon: 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
- Canned Beans: Fresh green beans, but allow to cook longer.
PRO TIP
- This recipe has a wonderful balance of sugar, fat, salt, smoky
flavoring, acid and a dash of heat. You'll find everyone wondering how
you did it!
