I have made these for years. im cooking for 13 so i use 7 cans of Green Beans and a pound of Bacon. I also flavor with salt, pepper and garlic and crumble the bacon back over the beans. My kids love them and i almost or never have any left.

Made these over Easter holiday and my husband LOVED them. I wasn’t totally crazy about the sugar in them but will definitely make again just because he liked tem so well!

I can’t wait to try these with the vinegar & sugar!!! (I already use bacon grease for a LOT of recipes lol) – just a tip, when buying on eBay, if you use paypal, paypal will refund your money for those broken dishes (you have to open a “dispute”) and they will reclaim it back off the seller….who obviously didn’t back the dishes as good as they should have – and if it wasn’t packed as good as it should have been because of the cost of packaging, then they should include those materials in part of the postage. But just remember – using Paypal gives you that little extra piece of mind.

If you have any left over boiled potatoes — just cut them into chunks and stir them into the green beans and heat all together until piping hot. You have your starch and your veggie and only one pot to clean.

Do you think that you could use Splenda instead of sugar for a lower carb version?

Oh, Christy you brought back some memories of Justin Wilson cooking his ON-yons. He was so entertaining to watch and his stories were real gems, I gar-on-tee! Unfortunately he died in 2001 and I still can catch some of his episodes on TV now and then. He was a character. These beans are lip smacking! I like to throw some bacon pieces in my cornbread too. Yummy good. Love your blog and your stories (and recipes). Love to your beautiful family and as it’s Easter 2013-Happy Easter to all!

Wow! Now I’m really feeling old! I have those exact dishes but I got them from my bridal shower. Ok, so it WAS 41 years ago.

Love this recipe! I also love the way you write. Reminds me of my relatives from the south.
