I love these green beans. I've had this recipe at potlucks, at baptism celebration dinners, during quiet dinners in the homes of great friends. Yes, many of us love that green bean casserole....but when you're looking for something a little lighter and a little different, you must make these green beans.
Family friend "Mama J" shared her recipe in casual format, so I'm going to do the same here. I really don't think you can mess this up - adapt for your family's tastes - and enjoy. It is SO GOOD.
Mama J's Green Beans
(recipe as told by Mama J)
Saute some bacon, remove bacon (and some of the grease) and saute sliced purple onion in the remaining grease only briefly so it is still crisp. About 2-3 minutes before removing the onion, add sliced mushrooms. I usually use frozen green beans. Cook them separately and only until they are crisp-done (no mushy!!!). Drain them and immediately place in some ice cold water to stop the cooking process so they remain a vibrant green. Drain and add to the bacon, onion, mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with soy sauce and TA-DA enjoy!
ASC note: we were out of soy sauce, so I used Worcestershire - still delicious!
