This was a favorite recipe that my Dad always made for family dinners and especially Thanksgiving and Christmas traditionally. I am making sure it gets carried on by the family.

Ingredients For dad's green beans

  • 3-4 lb
    fresh, frozen or canned green beans (not french style)
  • 1 md
    yellow cooking onion
  • 1 c
    chopped salt pork, bacon or ham pieces
  • 1 lb
    baby red potatoes or quartered med. red potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp
    cooking oil or bacon grease
  • 1 tsp
    lawry's seasoning salt

How To Make dad's green beans

  • 1
    sauté onions, oil, and meat for 3-4 minutes then add the remaining ingredients and combine together.
  • 2
    cover and bring to the point of steam escaping over medium heat. Turn heat to simmer for 20 minutes. During this time do not peek. NOTE: This method is only one type you can use. You can also just cook it all together over medium heat with no lid. I use waterless cookware and this method is the easiest for that style. You do not need to add any liquid in either method of cooking.
