You may not ever see this, but I want you to know that your videos have really helped me with my cooking skills. Nobody ever taught me how to cook or really take care of myself as a kid, so I'm learning all of this stuff now as an adult. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this and I'm doing very well following your recipes and teachings. Thank you very much.

I'm 81 y/o. When I was about 13 I went with my dad to his friend's house. On the heater stove there was a pot of green beans, the best I ever ate. Not till now with this recipe has it looked like the pot the lady had on the stove. Thank you so much. I'm planning an old-fashioned Christmas dinner, and these are going to be on the menu. I'm having dishes that my grandmother and aunt had for the family. Such wonderful memories, the beans will be there too.

My in-laws were southern people. They used full green beans with salt pork and a spoonful of shortening. They were delicious

[@nosmoke247]

My GMA taught me this dish but I add bacon or ham n mushroom. This is an Irish and southern origin dish. Sitting on the porch snapping beans is a good memory with gma.🙏 You can keep the bacon crispy cuz once u mix it, it will soften. This was also considered a full meal during the depression.

[@Mechel.G]

I love watching how other people cook classic southern dishes. Prior to this video I never knew that people cooked green beans with bacon pieces. The difference is that we sauté the onions and garlic and such with bacon grease from what was left after cooking breakfast. The meat that we actually cooked inside the green beans was that same as we used for greens, which is smoked ham hocks/smoked pig tails. Or smoked turkey tails if you don’t eat pork. Everything else was spot on with the exception of creole seasoning. Also, I never knew frozen green beans was an option. That’s for the advice. My stomach is growling like a mug.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Don't you just love the internet? :)

[@mcmariahcareyfan200]

Mechel Grant That’s crazy! I’m Cali born and raised, but my family is originally from NOLA. Have you tried it with bacon yet?

[@artemismoon3754]

Same with fried cabbage, we use turkey tails or ham hocks.

[@catherinelane9243]

I have never added sugar to my fresh green beans. Ham hocks, onion, garlic,potatoes, salt and pepper. Is enough for me.
