Green Beans with Arkansas Smoked Bacon image

You can use any type of Smoked Bacon for this recipe, but I love the flavors of the Slab Bacon that I get from the C & B Market in Wabbaseka Arkansas. I love it so much I bought at least 12 to 15 packs of it back to Chicago with me on my last visit there. The flavor is amazing & has that old Time Country Smoked Flavor that I...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2-3 slice thick slab bacon, rind removed
24 oz frozen or fresh green beans
2 large carrots peeled and cut into small pieces
1 large onion chopped
1 tsp steak seasoning, or to taste
3 clove garlic minced (i used pickled garlic)
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • 1. Remove rind from slab bacon. FYI The rind makes great Pork SKINS, Bake in 400 degree oven on a rack for about 20 minutes and they get real crisp like pork skins or rinds. Save in zip lock in freezer till you have more, & cook a bunch at a time.
  • 2. Using a sharp knife, cut bacon into small pieces to be sautéed.
  • 3. Add the cut pieces into a large pot that you plan to cook the green beans in. Saute until pieces are crisp tender. Then remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a platter lined with paper towel. Leaving rendered fat in pot.
  • 4. Add the chopped onions & minced garlic to the rendered fat and sauté until transparent. The brown crust on the bottom of the pot is added flavor, stir until onions are almost tender about 5 minutes.
  • 5. Add in green beans & bacon & bay leaf and almost cover the top of beans with water. Cook about 10 minutes over medium high heat.
  • 6. While beans are cooking prep and cut the carrots and add to pot, stir to mix, add in steak seasoning & any other spices if desired. Cook until tender or as desired about 15 minutes more for me.
  • 7. Taste and add additional spices if desired. Can drain liquid if desired before serving or serve the pot liquor with the green Beans over corn Muffins if desired. In the South We would pour the pot liquor over the corn Bread or muffins & eat it. Enjoy.

GREEN BEANS WITH SMOKED TURKEY BACON



Green Beans with Smoked Turkey Bacon image

I really like cooking with curry, and this is a wonderful slow cooker favorite of mine. Made with fresh green beans, turkey bacon and garbanzo beans, it has loads of flavor. Keep this recipe in mind especially for the summer when green beans are in abundance. It can be a main dish or a side dish. For vegetarians, eliminate the bacon. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 slices bacon, cut in half
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
1 ½ medium onions, chopped
6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
6 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup blanched slivered almonds

Steps:

  • In a large deep skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Remove bacon to paper towels, and reserve drippings in the skillet.
  • Place fresh green beans in a large saucepan, and add enough water to cover the bottom by 1 inch. Cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain.
  • Place the green beans into a 2 quart casserole dish. Spread the onions in a layer over the green beans. Place bacon strips in a layer over the onions. Sprinkle almonds over the top. Heat the reserved drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in vinegar and sugar, heating just until sugar is dissolved; drizzle over everything in the dish. Cover, and chill for at least one hour, but overnight is best.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake uncovered, for 45 minutes, until the onions are tender, and the almonds are toasted. Check after 30 minutes, and cover if necessary.
