    Beefy green beans!


    Its super easy.. I mean..simple as simple gets...
    People ask..how do you make your green beans?
    Well once you make them like this you wont want them any other way!
    Just ask my mother!
    I used to hate green beans..
    Actually I hated anything green!
    But now I can eat them all the time!!


    So what do you need???
    I said simple right??

    Ingredients!
    1 can of cut green beans
    3 beef bouillon cubes
    Bacon bits (canned) fresh crisp bacon (couple strips will do) or bacon grease (1 tsp)
    Salt & pepper

    Just add the green beans & bouillon cubes in a pot
    Add your bacon of your choice..
    And a little salt & pepper.. not much.. because the bacon and bouillon cubes make it salty..
    Bring to a boil..
    Then reduce to a simmer for a couple minutes..
    AND DONE! :)
