my family’s favorite: mississippi green beans

Recipe by

What makes Mississippi greens beans so irresistible? The secret is in the sauce. The butter, EVOO, bacon, brown sugar and soy cook into a thick, sweet, smoky, salty syrup that melts into the beans during slow cooking and makes them over the top delicious. They're my family’s favorite green beans, so I make them all the time. For more great recipes, please visit http://FamilySavvy.com xoxo~Jamie
