This is a delicious recipe! I follow this exact recipe but with 2 changes: I use canned whole green beans and I don't mash them. Call me crazy, but I'm convinced whole beans have more flavor than cut. Thanks guys!
Hi Tammy & Chris! My entire crew loves Granny's Green Beans! They alwsys ask for them. It's one of your recipes they've learned to make on their own. I believe they would make a meal just out of these green beans, creamed potatoes and cornbread! Thanks for the video, y'all!

I’ve made these several times. Always the star of the potluck. People always wind up talking about “those green beans, who made that!?” I cut the sugar down just a little but follow everything else. Yes you can hear the popping when cooled down correctly.
For the information of all those naysayers Southerners, my mother always cooked her vegetables with a little sugar which enhance the flavor of everything immensely.

@@josi7690 I put the beans in the pot and covered them with water about 2 inches over the top.... they were Blue Lake pole beans... Good Luck trying it...
Hey Tammy! 👋 I tried your green been recipe and it turned out great and delicious! Next time I’m going to use bacon grease and sugar and cook it down. We put bacon grease on three things . Spinach, green beans and poke. Thank you so much for your experience!❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊
I’m from a king line of southern cooks, and my Mama would say “Don’t turn your nose up at something you haven’t tried!” I’ve cooked a lot of them (fresh & canned) with & without bacon grease, potatoes, etc, but I’ve not done them this way - I’ll give it s try! 👍
My mother added sugar to nearly all her vegetables especially corn because it made them taste like they were fresh out of the garden. She also froze okra by picking it, putting it in freezer bags without cutting or even washing it. She would freeze and then that winter she would wash it in warm water, cut it , roll it in corn meal and fry it. It tasted like it was fresh from the garden, too.
My mom put sugar in a lot of food, she said it brought out the flavor . She was from LA. We lived in Texas . Im 80 years old now But i still remember my mama's cooking. I remember a card i made for mothers day Roses are red violents are blue . Your are the best cook in the world ❤
I remember you telling us about this method before and it's my favorite way to cook green beans! I love them with your meatloaf recipe and mashed potatoes. Only change is that I use a little less sugar
I do that and add a little bit of minced garlic and salt, pepper and onion powder in with mine if I'm wanting to do it a little bit differently than I normally do from the bacon grease, pieces of bacon and onion.
I am going to try this next time I cook green beans. One of my dear aunts would put a pinch of sugar in many things she cooked, including stewed tomatoes! BTW she was a South Georgia girl until coming to N.C. in her teens. I hope your visit with your new neighbor went well.
That’s the one thing I can’t do is add sugar to stuff. I bite into some greens or something that tastes a little sweet and I’m done. And cornbread with sugar? No way. I know some families love it, and that’s okay by me. But in my family sugar was for dessert and tea and not much else.
@@tarabooartarmy3654 Hi, I've never put sugar into things either. And cornbread? No way! My favourite dessert is a glass of buttermilk with cornbread crumbled into it! However I am going to try the green bean thing because she is such an excellent cook and other things I've tried have been great. Nice chatting with you!
I just made sum and umm so good, BUT, I kicked it up a notch by adding 1can mushroom soup with Durkee onions, no milk and dang what a sweet tasty dish. ❤
Thank you, Tammy, I'm from the South, but live elsewhere now. I remember my Granny's greenbeans. They were delicious! I miss all the good Ole Southern food❤ I'll have to give these a try.
I make mine like I learned when I worked at Mrs. Winner’s years ago. Chicken bouillon and dried minced onion. That’s only with canned, though. With fresh, I do bacon grease and onion, and if I don’t have bacon grease I add just a touch of vegetable oil. I agree with cooking them for a long time.
Bar keepers friend will easily clean that stainless steel pot. Regular Ajax or commet will also work. Whichever you use, make a paste with it, spread it all over the pot and just let it sit a bit or even overnight if needed. It will all wipe away with a washcloth.
I'm from Texas . And this is the first time . I heard about putting . Sugar into green beans . I'll have to try this . Thanks Tammy and Chris . Have a great weekend .😊
I use olive oil and a little butter and a little sugar and a sprinkle of Goya ham dry seasoning, and one shake of garlic powder. I will try your recipe.
I was raised to add at least a dash of sugar to vegetables & to anything with tomatoes to take out the acidity of the tomato. (Like okra, corn, & tomatoes) But Granny ALWAYS had bacon drippin's 🥓 on her huge ancient white gas stove (with the griddle in the middle of eyes) to season her vegetables, dumplins, grits, what have ya ... so Chris ... i LIKE whut you sed ...YES Tammy ...Praise the Lord we all can cook 'em like we learned 'em. 🙌 ❤❤❤ 😃😄😆
@YT4Me57 WOO HOOO!!!! Thanks for sharing that!! I was born in 57 & was blessed to know my great grandmother (Granny) She also had tin coffee cans on top of her propane space heater (from the huge propane tank on the side of the house) to put moisture in the air. I miss that simple life. 😃😄😆💖💕✨️👋👋
@@YT4Me57 I remember in the '60s and '70s you could buy a 3 piece set to keep on the stove that had metal salt & pepper shakers AND a container with lid to hold the bacon grease. Thanks for bringing back that memory 💕
Sherry Webber my Mama taught me to always add a “touch” of sugar to everything! She was a wonderful cook and everybody always wanted her recipes and to know what her secret was.
I made these for my husband, who absolutely LOVES green beans! Me not so much! I’ve never been confident in my ability to make green beans and my husband said his Mom made the best! She was an excellent, southern cook! He said these were so delicious!! Thanks Tammy for giving me a recipe that I can feel confident in😊😊😊 I did add 1/2 of a diced onion in mine.
Can't wait to try these. Green beans is a favorite vegetable of mine. On a similar note, to make frozen corn taste garden fresh: Place frozen corn in colander and rinse until chill is off. Drain well. Add to skillet. Add 4T butter and sprinkle 1T sugar on top. On medium high heat stir until butter is melted and the corn is warmed through. Salt and pepper to taste right before seeing.
Canned green beans, fresh bacon ( uncooked) chopped in small pieces and 1/2 onion in small pieces, salt and pepper and a pinch of garlic. Cover and cook low and slow……. The BEST!
I was born a Yankee that moved to California and I love Tammy’s recipes. I am not a good cook, but even I can make her recipes. More than anything I just enjoy watching her. It was nice to see her cohost make an appearance❣️🥰💕🙏🏻
Tammy, who got time for that, I say that jokingly😂‼️ Because I drain my green beans a little ,instead of waiting for all that liquid to boiled down. I follow the recipe some what. I put the sugar in but instead of oil I use butter and also add salt and pepper and onions . The sugar makes the difference ‼️👍🏾
I’m telling y’all, for anyone who likes country style green beans, you need to try this method at least once. They are some of the best green beans you will ever eat. They taste like they’ve been cooked with country bacon or something. But you have to follow her directions and cook them exactly like she says. They are absolutely delicious!
I cook these almost every week! My Mom (a wonderful Southern cook) asked me how I made them! These will pass the Mom test....a mighty good green bean! I use the same method for canned collard or mustard greens!
Canned green beans are underrated! We like them in salads too for a change up of the usual ingredients. Can't wait to try Tammy's version & all the commenters' variations too.
Love your green beans. A little tip,...anything that's made of stainless steel can be easily cleaned with oven cleaner. Just take the pot out of doors and spray it and forget it for a while. In most cases, you won't have to scrub or scour, maybe a once over with a scrouring pad. The same is true for Corning ware. Burnt on casserole will lift off after a soak in oven cleaner. No use wearing yourself out. LOL....Gary Schneider Alameda, California
My German grandmother would cook them according to the meal. Sometimes just fresh green beans lightly cooked with a bit of butter and dill. Sometimes cooked down like this with a little bacon, onion and sweet vinegar. The beans were always from her garden. I preferred the yellow wax beans because as a child I thought the green beans were "furry". Grandma grew both.
This is not your best recipe but it certainly is life changing. I’ve been experimenting with your technique on other canned vegetables with great results. Thanks for redoing the video. Nice production values. Stay safe. You two are a gift.
Even people that don't eat greenbeans in my family loved these. My mom even agreed they tasted like my Mamaw's and my little grinch heart grew 4 times bigger. THANK YOU for sharing this and connecting our family back to my grandma that has gone a long time.
Tammy - I had to watch how you made these beans, because I make mine very much the same way. It is almost the same recipe, except I also add a pat or two of butter, and mix cooked bacon pieces into them when they're thru cooking. I even mash mine, but with fork. and yes - they are, like yours, delicious! Every good cook adds about a tablespoon of sugar the water of boiled corn on the cob, skillet fried squash (not battered), and even to spaghetti sauce. Sugar brings out the flavor of so many foods. I love your recipes.
I do used canned beans but I cook them down in my stainless steel pot with bacon grease, onion & potatoes. Just like you I keep the liquid and cook them down till most of the liquid is gone . My husband loves them & he’s from the country!
However, anyone chose to cook their green beans it is their business. Green bean, smoked turkey, onion, seasoning, cook on low heat, add a few cut up white potatoes later to the pot!!! now that's my business..... delicious 😋
I’m a believer and your story gave me chills all over and a great big smile! Loved that it happened and I know you were blown away. I know you do the videos because you enjoy it but that was a great blessing! Love it!!’
Diabetics and dieters: I tried this using a granulated monk fruit blend instead of sugar. It created the same glaze they are talking about and tasted fine at the time, but later I had a slight, sickly-sweet aftertaste for a while. Even though the Splenda monk fruit blend I used is usually measure-equivalent with sugar, if I try this again I'll use a bit less of the monk fruit.
These look delicious Tammy. I've always used maple syrup instead of sugar. I would stir them to pieces as they were popping and sizzling. My sister, who never liked green beans loves the way I cook them. You're right one has to cook them all the way down for the flavor to be delicious. Gotta have that sizzle and pop at the end. As mine were doing that ,that's when I'd stir mine to pieces.Thank you Tammy
Bacon drippings, ham and a diced onion is how my Grandma Ruth made them, picked and snapped right out of the garden! Yum!
Sounds really good. I will have to add some ham to the onion and bacon. Yummy!
Love fresh vegetables out of the garden
Same here too, but used bacon not ham. Still do it now 50 years later. Love bacon grease!!
My 94 yo mom in law cooked them “to death”. Almost black & the best. She used old pressure cookers & beat up aluminum pans. Made the best Chocolate Pound Cake & Strawberry Cobbler ever.

I cook my fresh carrots down with brown sugar too. My SIL worked at Cracker Barrel and that’s how theirs are cooked too.
My Aunt cooked her GB the same way but with brown sugar as well. Sometimes she sprinkled crispy bacon on top depending on her mood! 🤗
@sandraskalmik387 - Brown would be superior, because brown has molasses in it. 😉
She prefer the light or dark?

Adding bacon grease or even smoked ham will give lots of flavor. A pinch of sugar helps to balance out the flavors.

a soak in oven cleaner. No use wearing yourself out. LOL....Gary Schneider Alameda, California
My German grandmother would cook them according to the meal. Sometimes just fresh green beans lightly cooked with a bit of butter and dill. Sometimes cooked down like this with a little bacon, onion and sweet vinegar. The beans were always from her garden. I preferred the yellow wax beans because as a child I thought the green beans were "furry". Grandma grew both.
This is not your best recipe but it certainly is life changing. I’ve been experimenting with your technique on other canned vegetables with great results. Thanks for redoing the video. Nice production values. Stay safe. You two are a gift.
I think I would have to add bacon (not bacon grease), black pepper, and onions. A side of cornbread would also be nice!
Can’t wait to try it! 1 teaspoon of sugar is nothing. That vapors off anyway. The sugar replaces the sugar that canned beans loses.
My aunt made them this way, but added a thinly sliced sweet onion that will caramelize during the last phase.
Even people that don't eat greenbeans in my family loved these.
My mom even agreed they tasted like my Mamaw's and my little grinch heart grew 4 times bigger.
THANK YOU for sharing this and connecting our family back to my grandma that has gone a long time.
Awesome!
Hey, Tammy 💚💗. Sorry I didn’t this watch earlier. I love these granny green beans ❤.
Tammy - I had to watch how you made these beans, because I make mine very much the same way. It is almost the same recipe, except I also add a pat or two of butter, and mix cooked bacon pieces into them when they're thru cooking. I even mash mine, but with fork. and yes - they are, like yours, delicious! Every good cook adds about a tablespoon of sugar the water of boiled corn on the cob, skillet fried squash (not battered), and even to spaghetti sauce. Sugar brings out the flavor of so many foods. I love your recipes.
❤
I do used canned beans but I cook them down in my stainless steel pot with bacon grease, onion & potatoes. Just like you I keep the liquid and cook them down till most of the liquid is gone . My husband loves them & he’s from the country!
However, anyone chose to cook their green beans it is their business.
Green bean, smoked turkey, onion, seasoning, cook on low heat, add a few cut up white potatoes later to the pot!!! now that's my business..... delicious 😋
I’m a believer and your story gave me chills all over and a great big smile! Loved that it happened and I know you were blown away. I know you do the videos because you enjoy it but that was a great blessing! Love it!!’
I remember when my grandma use to do green beans she would also put a dash of vinegar in it ...HHMMMM sounds really good about now LOL
I use vinegar and sugar and they are delicious.
I use sugar but I've never boiled out all the liquid.
I'LL TRY IT!! Thanks
Tammy, what about salt and pepper?
I know she said they were a little salty. How when?
Made these green beans....have to say, they are delicious! They actually tasted like my grañdmas!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!❤
Diabetics and dieters: I tried this using a granulated monk fruit blend instead of sugar. It created the same glaze they are talking about and tasted fine at the time, but later I had a slight, sickly-sweet aftertaste for a while. Even though the Splenda monk fruit blend I used is usually measure-equivalent with sugar, if I try this again I'll use a bit less of the monk fruit.
Looks delicious. God bless you both.
These look delicious Tammy. I've always used maple syrup instead of sugar. I would stir them to pieces as they were popping and sizzling. My sister, who never liked green beans loves the way I cook them. You're right one has to cook them all the way down for the flavor to be delicious. Gotta have that sizzle and pop at the end. As mine were doing that ,that's when I'd stir mine to pieces.Thank you Tammy
How much syrup do you put in your beans? A TBSP?
@@lokebee not alot..just go by taste. The maple syrup brings out the flavor in the beans. They not only taste delicious..they smell delicious too.
Now I know how to cook my hubby's favorite Southern style green beans; like his Granny cooked. Thanks!
I am trying your Grandma’s green beans this Sunday when 6 of my grandkids will be taste testers! Thankyou, and yes this is America, be adventurous! 😊
Hope you enjoy
Really its not that much sugar.
I use bacon grease in my green beans because it gives them a wonderful flavor just like what my mother and mother in law used to cook. 4:20
I LOVE this recipe! I cannot guess how many pots of these I have made...and devoured. Delicious!!!!
I tried this recipe and all I can say is WOW!!!!!! My food critic husband even loved it!!! Definitely in my dinner rotation.
Bacon grease, sugar, salt, pepper, onion, and a dash of vinegar. Makes them taste home canned.
You need to try these
Thanks so much for sharing your technique. 💜👍🏼
Chris reaping the benefits of so much good food!
I made this and they really do taste like fresh from the garden green beans. I added a little salt and they were perfect.
I love green beans gotta try this
How would you adjust this recipe if you just wanted to make 1 of the smaller cans at a time?
tbs of oil and tsp of sugar
@@CollardValleyCooks thanks my father likes beans I’ve never been a big fan but I think I might like this way. Can’t wait to try!
