How to make Smothered Green Beans | Recipes By Alden B

[@TreyRentie]

Thank you so much for the inspo 🙌🏾. I’m vegan so I had to make some adjustments of course but it came out sooooooo bomb. If anyone’s curious, I used impossible Italian sausage links, didn’t have a bacon substitute. Instead of making the roux from the ‘meat’ I just used 3Tb olive oil along w/ 2Tb of flour recommended. Didn’t have veggie stock so I just made a broth by adding 3 vegan chicken bouillon cubes in 3 cups water boiled water. Had way more potato than green beans lol. Other than all that, I followed the recipe as given and mann mann mannn. FIRE!

[@cheyf5296]

I didn't know about using salt to keep garlic from sticking to your knife! That's so smart. I also really appreciate that you brought up the importance of using different chopping boards for different foods to prevent cross-contamination. You're educating us and feeding us. This recipe looks soooo good. I have to try it.

[@Pickle_Zero]

It was the rue at the start that rocked my world! I’ve been able to apply that concept to other dishes as well 🙆🏻‍♀️

[@jujujupiter]

I agree about the sanitary use of cutting boards. What good is the very best recipe if the ingredients are contaminated?

[@VannaWhiite]

I'm a self proclaimed green bean queen but these are def giving me a run for my money! Will be making this, exactly this way! I like the "glaze" as you say, that it adds! Genius! It literally holds the favor to the green bean!

[@jeaninefowler6726]

We have made this recipe twice now. Me and my dad who's 94 and we love it

[@ericastewart732]

I made this last week & have made it 3 more times since! My family keeps wanting more. These are fantastic 👩‍🍳

[@erikamuralles]

Can you send me the recipe the ingredients

[@essence1126]

​@@erikamurallesSis, the video IS the recipe. Did u watch it? 💀🤣🤣🤣

[@Love-zp9ng]

I made it today and it turned out soooooo good I made sure I had leftovers for later made that rice and baked pork chops OMG I will be following u thank u Sir God bless❤

[@vh2337]

@@essence1126 It's a pain in the ass to have to stop and start a video. What's the problem with a written recipe?

[@kiara-tc6wj]

@vh2337 it’s not that many ingredients. It’s literally green beans. You have to be extremely slow and lazy to not be able to catch the ingredients. I didn’t even have to pause it once.

"If you ain't sneezing, it ain't seasoned!"😁

[@kimberlywilliams2905]

My second time trying this recipe. These smothered green beans are off da chain. Thanksgiving 2024

[@emperorwang0861]

Doing a roux for this dish is a pro gamer move. Excellent tip. I grew up in the south and have always ate and cooked this dish and i cant believe i never thought to do it with a roux. Thanks!

[@Pickle_Zero]

I just finished cooking up this recipe (minus sausage) and I’m pretty sure these are the best fresh green beans I have ever had!

[@vanniyoung1]

My husband taught me this recipe. He is from New Orleans, and it shows thru the food. I'm from Texas, but I never had it. Easy and delicious, especially over tice.

[@KeySOchoCOlate]

My kids LOVED this!!!🩷🩷

[@ginafavre5586]

This is the best string beans I've ever tasted. Iv been cooking string beans a long time. But this right here, omgoodness. Best ever! I'll never cook them any other way. Thank you so much for sharing this. They're rolling!!❤️

[@amberbennett7565]

Made this recipe for me and my daughter last week. Loved it! My girl devoured them.

[@bklough]

This rocks, man. Thank you. I've made a bunch of recipes, this one tops em all. They didn't do rouxs! I'm a green bean, bacon, spud hound and this brings joy. Keep rocking!

[@mscece2225]

[@stimpyfranklin8052]

100% delicious! Made this and it will now go in my recipe box. Thanks much.😊

[@trina1111]

I have been eating this dish since I was a kid in the 70s without the bacon. We eat it as a main dish. Whenever I cooked for friends they were hesitant at first but then fell in love with it. Years ago I had a male coworker who had to bring green beans for Thanksgiving and I told him how to cook it. He said his picky father told him to just bring plain green beans. He didn’t listen and everyone loved it.

[@ShannonCarpenter-pw6ji]

This is how my Mama taught me to cook green beans. She would take can green beans and smother them down, having em tastin like fresh. So good! Louisiana cookin

[@moffit1x2x1]

How long did she cook them with canned green beans?

[@ShannonCarpenter-pw6ji]

@@moffit1x2x1 I simmer them on low for a while, 30 mins or more, while I'm doing other stuff. I drained off the water and rinse them then put bacon grease, a little bit of onion, little bit of water and salt and pepper.

[@lynncorvillion7557]

This looks so good! I can’t wait to try this! Thank you! 💜

[@cynthiahawkins2142]

Great tips on chopping the onion!! Never heard of that.

[@risetagge5012]

My Mama used to make this with ham instead of sausage. I could easily eat the entire potful! It melts in your mouth and it was my FAVORITE food on earth!! I will try your recipe, but mine never tastes like Mama’s!!! If I make it to heaven, that’s the first thing I’ll want to eat!🤣

[@tamarareid8174]

This recipe is soooo good!! I don’t eat pork so I used beef bacon and smoked beef sausage!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@meetthejohnsons9236]

Making this right now! Super optimistic 😋 smells good and looks even better!

[@therapistofftherecord]

I made this yesterday for Easter and it was delicious!

[@mariac1399]

I made this for my husband’s birthday dinner and omgeeeeee!!! It was super flavorful! Served it with ribeye steak and soft dinner rolls to sop up the green bean juice. He LOVED it, we all did!! Thanks for having me look good in the kitchen, chef!

[@mamla176]

I was about to ask what main it can be served with, thanks for mentioning this option!

[@Fonneyyy]

Found this page just in time for Thanksgiving!!!!!! Thanks Chef! I will definitely be subscribing! 😊

[@idamakled]

It looks good & tasty, I’ll try it maybe tomorrow , but I’ll be using the beef slices instead of bacon plus I’ll be using the vegetable broth instead of chicken 😊. Thank you and I’ll update 😊

[@monicawalker8084]

Loved this recipe, substituted smoked turkey sausage and turkey bacon. ❤

[@Branndynda1st]
