I was raised snapping my greenbeans. It's the only way...............PERIOD gotta keep lil bit that bacon 🥓 grease. 😋😋

[@llenliuq5174]

Every recipe I've cooked by AB, has been FIRE!! I enjoy trying old recipes with an AB twist. What happen to The Grillin TV Network??? I was looking for Alcenia's recipe I tried and could not find. I don't even see the mac n cheese with Pat Neely. Has GTVN cease to exist??

[@rhonda6853]

Grew up eating this food. Luv of my life food. I'd like to commend you on your serene music & cleanliness. Recipe30 does the same. 2 different types of food & flare. But very clean with peaceful music. ❤❤❤

Grew up snapping beans, shelling peas & shucking corn. Everyone in my family saved bacon grease. We didn’t strain it. Kept it in a metal coffee can in the fridge or on top of the stove. I always keep mine, too. That’s liquid gold! I’m a Texas girl!

[@toombs6287]

Same

[@loladlola2]

Ditto!! I'm a City Girl with a Country Girl's heart and roots. That can on the stove was filled with love and grease.🤣

[@cassandralorenzo8628]

Gurl those was the good old days. I hope there are many families still gathering in the kitchen to do these things together❤

[@Dede-oj4ui]

Same , bring back memories 😊

[@derekdonnell6503]

Already know you nice with the cooking craft just from reading your comment😂😂😂😂

[@TheLaehcim]

I snap mine, I remember back in the early 80's my grandma used to have me snapping beans shelling peas.

[@osmadchlo]

I never strain my bacon grease, neither did my Mom or either of my Grandmoms. I grew up snapping beans and shelling peas all my life and will happily do that to this day!

[@MaLiArtworks186]

We kept a bacon jar on the stove. We didnt use a strainer. Put bits and pieces with the oil. Used a little oil in everything.

[@lang-ed3bk]

My oil separates. Which part am I supposed to keep?

[@earthsciteach]

I made this tonight for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Dude, this is FIRE! I could make a meal out of this alone.

[@LilMoSweet53]

My Mom and Dad had a garden and my job was to snap peas and clean them for storage. We didn’t buy vegetables in the grocery store for years and nobody ever got sick

[@SunnyIlha]

[@MB87659]

I still snap beans. My momma showed me how to do beans and collard greens. You have to have that good pot liquor. Thanksgiving just brings me so much joy thinking about my mom. RIP Mom. Thank you uncle AB❤

[@bjmichaelson5450]

Thank you baby you always come through with the best recipes! Got my already snapped beans at Costco. Followed your instructions and it is oh soooo good. My mom and grandma made it with that good old pot liquor add bacon grease

[@simplywandaful5889]

[@tenishastairpraisegod7648]

Southern green beans and potatoes looks delicious AB!😋

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Thanks fam!

[@Fitnut133]

My Aunt Madie taught me to snap beans and to pull that string that was hanging on for dear life. How I miss Sunday dinners and holidays with her and all my elders.

[@Fitnut133]

Bacon grease was never strained, all those brown bits are FLAVOR!

[@eldonpayne6115]

❤❤❤ My mom made this when I was young. Brings back so many good memories and all the vegetables were straight out of the garden. 😊

[@1DeepOutdoors]

Haven’t been on this channel in a minute, Unc still killing it 💪🏽

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Enjoy!

[@cathyvelliquette3799]

Oh my goodness!!! This just took me back to the 60’s and I would sit on the front porch and after we got the green beans, and my Mamaw would break beans for hours!!! And yes… you gotta have that bacon grease… and the red potatoes were an entire meal!!! Thanks for posting your recipe.❤ ❤❤

[@shoelaydee]

You're making those Green Beans just like my Grandma, Mom and Myself make them! Snapping those beans too!! They smell Delish from the phone😄. Enjoy!!👍🏼

[@paigenicholespeaks6172]

I made this today for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Thank you for this recipe!!! I also made your peach cobbler recipe!

[@elizabethgrant6466]

Grew up snapping beans

[@sheniemoore4603]

I watch your videos 2 to 3 times daily during the holidays for sure. I’ll be making this recipe for my family this Thanksgiving. Thank you for the simple yet flavorful dishes❤.

[@HillBilly-Anonymous]

I made this for thanksgiving. I didn’t have all the powdered spices so I added twice the bacon and added jalapeños it was pretty good, but the little kids drank a lot of water. My sister frowned at me, but my nephews loved it.

[@BBQPITDOG]

MOM always saved and re used the bacon grease AB. There was no corn oil in the house! Happy Thanksgiving Bud!

[@Incogn3gr0e]

Saving this for my Thanksgiving meal 😊 I’m doing my grocery shopping first thing in the morning lol

[@sharonkluzinski5198]

You r one of the nicest people/ chef I've ever watched..thank you for your expertise and kindness😊

[@latonayabryant7226]

Always snap my beans & my Nana didn’t strain ish…she put all the trimmings in a Foldgers coffee can.She had one for bacon grease & one for fish grease😂

[@lindalewis7098]

Nice! Happy Thankgiving everyone. Praying for continued blessings for all. 😊❤

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Same to you! 👏🏽👍🏽🙏🏽💯😊

[@bellafifty3525]

We always saved our bacon grease with all of the little pieces left in the pan. We'd pour the grease in the bacon grease can without straining! Delicious for seasoning up our collard greens, etc... Reminds me of Mommy cooking her delicious meals for her family!❤

[@Hadoukeneater]

Made this last night for my family and they all loved it! Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe

[@patriciahart9750]

This looks so good, and you made this like my Momma always did. I love your cooking. The other 0:15 made the Lima beans the way you did, and they were so good. I've made them all my life, but yours were exceptional. Keep cooking!!! I want more recipes!!!

[@curlyg1562]

AB, I love you, Man! ! You have taught me to upgrade my cooking game. Thank you! Wondering why your website site, Down Home Southern Green Beans and Potatoes instructed the reader to peel and cut the potatoes. I’m going to take my cue from your KZbin video, which leaves the peel on. Can’t wait for Thanksgiving!

[@cathylarkins9949]

My Momma used to make green beans like this …totally yummy❤Used bacon grease to make biscuits too….

[@Flip-y1k]

Now that’s how my mama used to make it! I just used up my jar of bacon grease today for thanksgiving greens I have to start stocking back up! Good vid brother!

[@Lifeovatime]

Absolutely easy to make & fye 💯 , grew up on this

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

It is!!

[@tinati7098]

[@stevenhall9349]

I grew up snapping beans and shelling peas. I hated it but now I remember those was good times that I’d like to have back.

[@wwland]

Always snap my beans because that's how my grandma taught me. Never used canned beans, always fresh.

[@zipper-j]

I'm making this today for Christmas. We always snap the beans. We have bacon grease coffee cans my whole life. never strained.

[@Gerisheng]

My family has a similar recipe, but simpler. Potatoes, green beans, and a cut-up ham (instead of bacon). Just those three things plus some water to make the broth. To offset the saltiness, it was always served with jelly bread. Grape jelly was the affordable standard, but any would do. Thanks for the memories, any variation of this is great comfort food. :)

[@bridgettbrown515]

I used to sit on the Garret in the country snapping green beans and chicken black-eyed and purple peas❤

[@tenyathomas6065]

This video is right on time. I've been trying to think of what I was going to do with the potatoes I bought a week ago. And I have green beans on deck. Thanks AB!

[@deloreslatham7823]

I Raised my 5 Grand kids and this was a must eat in my house... they loved it

[@CarmenSanchez-zr6xm]

I don't strain my bacon grease. I like the crunchy bits.. And it's usually Peppered. 😋

[@LealerJennings]

[@karengreene3238]

Talk about trippin' down memory lane!! My mom made green beans and white potatoes like that...she also would use a slurry to thicken the liquor and my dad would put it over the roast. YUMMY!!!!

[@jodyburnett5273]

Yes I grew up on that way from my mother and grandmother. I love following your channel🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰

[@LYoung-op5ub]

My grandma too, but more with fat back. I am a great grandma now and still use this type of receipt . Smoked turkey works too.

[@kelleymallett5996]

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Thank you 🔥👏🏽👍🏽

[@nancycarney]

My most favorite green bean recipe since 1964. Granny made the nest right out of her garden.

[@pamp5797]

Oh my gosh. I'm 74 and back in the day mom canned slot of our home grown food. Green beans was one of them. I remember sitting in the kitchen with bushels of green beans and snapping For Ever. 😄

[@tamarazwinak]

Yes I snap my green beans. Who doesn't?

[@kdenton9566]

I always enjoyed snapping beans from my Grandma's garden. I'd always sneak two or three to eat.

[@HillBilly-Anonymous]

This looks so good! I’m gonna try this and I suck at cooking.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

You got this. Come back and share your thoughts afterwards. Enjoy!

[@HillBilly-Anonymous]

[@JoyceLatimer-c3o]

Love your cooking show! You are an absolute Man that knows his food. 😊 I am keeping track of all your recipes of how to cook everyday food and make it good. Thank you Sir.

[@LilMoSweet53]

That’s that pot liquor my Granma and Mom taught me about👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Ruth-f9d2j]

I grew up snapping green beans for dinner or supper. We had breakfast, dinner which people call lunch, and supper which people now call dinner, it's crazy but that's just what we called the meals in our southern house. Green beans with bacon, onions and new potatoes was a meal, as was Collards with ham hocks, or neck bones a meal. We didn't have much money so this fed a large family along with corn bread to soak up that delicious 😋 pot licker to make awesome filling meals. If we were lucky we also would enjoy a Custard pie,sweet cake or home made ice cream for dessert.

[@socratesfortlow1832]

You crazy AB😂😂😂 Wit tha “Pause”….

[@shanteewhite4525]

Man I just made these for Christmas dinner!! That flavor though. Wooo weee!

[@AlannaQueener]

[@russellrevels4392]

I still snap my beans and have my kids help. Oh yeah the bacon grease I include it all in the jar. Just like grandma.

[@KenSeptak]

My Gram and My Mum NEVER used a strainer when Cooking BACON. All the Extra Stuff is Flavor .

[@LatuiseNewton]

L❤ve your Cooking Channel on KZbin! I appreciate you keeping it delicious and simple. Thank you for sharing! I'm making some of your recipes for this year's Christmas.

[@bryanp5534]

Man as kids they made us snap the green beans lol. Brought me back to Texas. That look crazy bruh!

[@janicelenard854]

That look good I'm making them I got some fresh green bean right out the garden thank you

[@vickilee7866]

We used a ‘bacon grease’ can & put ALL the grease & bits in! Ours never stayed full because of how often we cooked with it! I buy a product called Bacon Up in the cooking oil section at groc store. It’s really good. ( don’t cook bacon much anymore but need the bacon grease flavor )

[@unknwnrunner]

I was watching your southern green bean video then boom! Saw this noti pop up...thanks AB🎉

[@veussstarr6012]

I am old school, all the bits and pieces are going in the jar, your know our grandmother’s didn’t waste anything.

[@papad9067]

Damnnn AB, you're cooking your ass off this Thanksgiving and I'm finding "I'm Thankful" for you. Which cookbook can I find all of these latest receipts of yours? Yo Bro, you are without a doubt a master @ smokin & grillin but please add "Cookin n da Kitchin" too!

[@michaelweigand9346]

That’s that Master P “Make Em Say Ugh”! 🔥

[@ladygreer9323]

I definitely snap my beans.. No other way! Yumm 🤤 Happy Friday!! 🐞

[@TYE757]

Love it man. Be safe for holidays everybody.

[@marvinsanders5135]

Hey Ab, I love your videos. I'm looking for some new cookware and wondering what brand are you using in this video.

[@lawordersvufan8050]

Yes I snap my beans just like Grandma used to do 😊

[@jangles1839]

Grew up snapping green beans, shelling peas, butter beans, purple hulls etc. & shucking corn!

[@lalanders]

Just like mama used to make…. Mouth watering ❤

[@floyd4311]

Hey AB, have you ever done a video going over your preferred tools of the trade? What kinda pots and pans are those? Etc.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

@AB Saving our wallets and taste buds one meal at a time. God Bless you Sir. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Stay Safe, Love ea other

[@elainewingate4019]

That's how my parents did just pour the bacon grease right into the can no straining and I grew up picking and snapping beans

[@Linda-k7x4y]

This looks so good that it will be one of the dishes for our Thanksgiving meal.

[@MD-ti4ok]

Iammo bout to do this! Thank you for the demo sir. : )

[@diannebrooks8056]

Looks so delicious 😋💯

[@mariebrown8547]

I went down south to visit grandparents as a kid and we snapped string beans and shucked corn

[@1wascallywabbit]

This is one of my favorites...takes me back to Grandma's table. I can make and eat these beans as a complete meal (I brown the bacon, add the garlic....I've never tried adding sugar but maybe next time....add the chicken stock, and cook the beans first for 20 mins or so then add the potatoes (I usually use baby red/fingerling potatoes) for the last 20-30 mins....but I like my beans thoroughly cooked and soft)

[@maxineflax3597]

Great memories of snapping beans and living in West Virginia. The fruit truck will come by and we will buy the beans and snap them afterwards from the truck.

[@DennisGillespie-t6u]
