OLD BAY GREEN BEANS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Put the frozen green beans in a large bowl of water and let them thaw quickly. Drain well in a colander.

Combine the salt, pepper, minced onions and Old Bay seasoning in a small bowl and sprinkle over the green beans. Toss and coat with the seasonings. Cook about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and let them simmer/cook another 20 minutes. Toss a couple of times with the tongs. Turn off heat and let the beans steam about 10 minutes. Ready to serve!

GRANDMA'S GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
• Add the onion and jalapeño and cook for a minute or two, then add the green beans. Cook until the green beans are bright green, an additional minute. Add the chicken stock, garlic powder and a good pinch of both salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and lightly cover, allowing the some of the steam to escape. Cook until the liquid is evaporated and the beans are starting to soften, but still have a bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer the beans to a serving vessel. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the top of the beans, along with the fried onions.
