I am from Ohio. Most of my people were German farmers. My grandmother, who would be about 130 y.o. now, could cook like nothing on earth having grownup cooking alongside my great-grandmother for a big family (eleven kids) and the farmhands, plus the armies of neighbors and transient hired help who worked the planting and harvest. No one had an issue with vast amounts of butter, lard, or sugar. I have deeply fond memories of what we used to call "green beans Cooked to Death." Great episode!
I enjoyed reading your memories so much! Greetings from Germany❤️ PS Nowadays we don't overcook anything because of loss of Vitamins, but I can Imagine, IT must have tastet delicious.!
I just made these and they were OUTRAGEOUS!! I haven’t bought & used can green beans in years as they always taste like the can. You would never know these green beans had ever touched a can! Thanks so much.

My granny is from the Philippines ! But my Neighbor Ms.Olivia is from North Carolina and makes the best melt in your mouth tender and tasty green beans!

Im a disabled veteran from Tennessee. Ive saved. 4 receipes already.ive been looking for a REAL SOUTHERN COOK/RECEIPES. I am so very,very glad to have found your glad to have found you. Thanks for bringing my Mom, Granny,& Aunt back to me😊
Ha sweetie, just wanted to let you know that I'm from South Carolina. My husband and I, made you're canned green beans, let me tell everyone out there that these green beans are awesome. We both are so happy that was just like you said, just as good as homemade . Tammy, my husband and I are just so happy that we found you and Chris's channel. I know that you are the real master cook, but we know as good old southern women, we always want to add our husband when they are so good to us and really want to be a part of what we are doing. God Bless both of you.🤗😳😁💞💜
That's great. I have been cooking since I was ten and haven't stopped. My moma use to tell me the way to a good man's heart was through his belly. Ha ha.
Cindy I'm also from South Carolina, & I just recently found this channel! I know some good southern food, & she looks like a great cook! Her dishes look delicious
Hi Kelly I'm very aware that you don't know me and I don't know you but we do meet new friends by the day and it only takes a second to meet someone new and few good conversations to know the person, I'd really appreciate it if you accept me as a friend 🙏💝
My Granny always told me if it's green, it needs a little bit of sugar. Lord I miss that lady and her collard greens; she always made me a bowl of them to take home with me, lol. She would hide that bowl at the gatherings so I would be sure to have it to take home, cause her big bowl was always emptied out by the end. She taught me how to make them like she always did, and the hardest thing I ever did, was make them for Thanksgiving after she passed. I cried the entire time I was cooking them, but I think I did her proud. We have to keep these passed down recipes and ways of cooking alive; food will always tell a story if done right.
Would you mind telling me how you make them? My mom or grandmother never made them and I had them in a restaurant recently and loved them! And they were sweet. I'm 61.
I made these for dinner and my husband said “wow these are the best green beans I have ever eaten.” Thanks Tammy. I also made the guacamole, chicken fingers/stripes, chili, and so much more. Keep us the good work. Love ya girl. Viola Wisconsin
These are fantastic. I made one can only cause it’s just me. My only regret is not making 2 cans. Now I understand what you mean by the pop. The glaze it produces and the taste is off the charts, like nothing I have ever had. Thank you for this recipe, it will be a staple for me🥰
Hi Debbie, am so sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find you attractive and interesting to know I don't know if I could be a friend of you so we can get to know each other thanks👍
Looks great! I’m going to cook up some bacon in a different pan and stir chopped pieces of the bacon in with these beans when the beans are all done. This California girl just loves your Southern cooking. Thank you!
It’s almost 2:30am in PA and I watched this video ( Granny Green Beans), you made me hungry for green beans so I made these..... let me say DELICIOUS!! I’m making my green beans like this from now on! And you CANNOT taste the sugar. It’s weird but you can taste the salt. I absolutely love love these. I ate the whole can. 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love this "way" of doctoring up canned green beans with that touch of sugar and the masher trick! And the tip of letting ALL the liquid cook off and giving them a couple of stirs around the sides of the pot is key!!
DelMonte is my brand of choice for their green beans. They are the Cadillac of canned green beans. I have never had them this way but now I definitely am going to try this recipe! Thank you so much!
I’ve commented before but after several months of making these for myself and for company I have to say that these are hands down the best green beans ever! Everyone who tries them wants the recipe!
My husband's grandmother taught me this method and have been using it ever since! We only use whole canned green beans, not cut green beans. Makes a difference!
I put bacon, bacon grease, sautee large chop onion, drain beans, add vegetable stock, sugar, pepper and my family love my beans. I will try this recipe
I absolutely love your accent. I have family in Texas and Arkansas that I miss dearly. Every time that I watch your videos, you just bring me home with them. Love y'all very much
@@katree2002 she did . When you do that it makes the sugar come out more without an over powerful taste of sugar. It is which ever way you like them. They are good. Try it.
Woo Hoo this was always the way my Granny cooked them, My Mama and Now I have for years, We called it fried down green beans...Oh yea...but they are good with onions also and bacon crumbles(added last) you have fried and use the grease from, or even ham pieces. My Granny was a old southern cook, My Mama to, and so am I, and a little sugar has always been used in many dishes..just makes everything better, as long as you do not over do it.....Blessings
I am a southerner and I put a little sugar in almost every vegetable I cook♡♡♡ That's the way My Grandmother cooked♡♡♡ Everything I have ever eaten at her house was Absolutely Delicious ♡♡♡ She taught me how to do alot of hard work♡♡♡ I am ever so Grateful!!! Thank GOD for ALL THE ELDER GENERATIONS♡♡♡ I Thank GOD for instilling the passion in me to Love and care for All mankind♡♡♡ Thank you sweet Tammy and Chris for everything y'all do♡♡♡ I enjoy watching you two more than y'all will ever know♡♡♡ GOD BLESS EVERYONE ♡♡♡ We Love y'all so very much ♡♡♡ GOD IS SO GOOD ♡♡♡
It's true, y'all. These beans taste so good. I used this recipe for Thanksgiving and as far as I'm concerned the green beans and cranberry sauce were the best things on my plate. Since there were only two of us eating, I used only two regular sized cans of beans. One other thing: Tammy's right about the stainless steel pan. Had to clean up my All-Clad with Barkeeper's Friend. I needed to cook with stainless because my induction cooktop requires stainless or iron.
I just made these for my family and they were all blown away! They thought I added bacon or meat to the green beans. Thank you!!! They were awesome and super easy to fix.
Made em. 1 big can. 1 tablespoon of sugar is too much. Maybe would've been better with 2 large cans or else cut back on the sugar to a teaspoon with the 1 large can.. My granddaughter wasn't crazy about them, she said they tasted burnt. Gonna try them with less sugar next time.
I use DelMonte green beans also, and cook with (smaller can) table spoon each of of bacon grease, sugar, and apple cider vinegar, as my Granny from Rising Fawn did.
I do that but my niece wouldn't eat can green beans but I add 1/4 teaspoon of ginger and she told my daughter that it wasn't out of a can. Try it. From my grandma recipe.
You can make these with French style green beans, too. That’s the only kind I had, and I made them and they were absolutely fantastic! Thanks for this wonderful technique!!!
I'm from Rome Georgia we're next door neighbors Tammy and I are she lives in Colorado where she did but they're only a few miles apart but people in the deep South they just don't do French style green beans we just don't even with our green bean casserole as a matter of fact I really don't care for green bean casserole but I love green beans string beans but I don't care for pole beans either and you say there's no difference in the taste well yes there are. I love to get some green beans in the grocery store just a handful and store from an olive oil and then have bacon fresh bacon pieces on spread on top of it with onions that's delicious absolutely delicious great side dish that was fried corn yeah the pork tenderloin fried yeah the coleslaw and cornbread yeah you got a meal and of course we got to have a sweet tea from the south.
my Mike messed up it was supposed to say collard balance right there in Cedartown Georgia that's where her hometown is but I think she lives in Florida now somewhere South I don't I'm not really sure.
Hi Tammy, this is exactly how I grew up eating beans. However my Granny used bacon grease or oil. Whatever she had on hand. Delicious whichever you choose to cook with.
I got so tired of throwing away spoiled fresh veggies, I stocked up on canned last time they were on sale. I made these just as you did. Who’d a thunk! They were really good, yes they were mushy, but all canned veggies are. It put a whole new spin and flavor on canned green beans. This was miraculous to me; the flavor was completely changed.
These green beans have changed my life. I’m not joking. I would always spend all day making green beans. I cannot believe how delicious these are. I had to stop myself from eating them yesterday and today. Amazing. Thank you
You guys are adorable! LOL I cringed seeing you not throw that water out the can, but they look so delicious. I think I will try a small can this way and see whatchu talk'n bout girl! LOL
I spent 45 years cooking fresh green beans because thats what the women in my family did. Out of laziness I tried canned, now I cook them half the time. I have to toss the canned liquid out myself - I totally understand reason why.
My wife is from the hills of Eastern Kentucky, bordering Virginia. Beans, of all types are daily table fare. My favorite is similar to this recipe. Fresh or canned, Green beans, not drained, snapped or french cut, salt pork, or bacon grease, onions, Knorrs chicken bouillon powder, salt and pepper, potatoes boiled in the pot's juice. Add a great home-made Cole-slaw, and Corn bread to soak/sop up the great juices from both beans and cole slaw. A great meal. Never had it so good.
I love y’all! Glad to see Chris! I just started watching. I’m 56. Remarried 5 years ago to a wonderful man. First husband left out of the blue after 30 yrs. I love how sweet y’all are. Thankful you beat cancer! My mama and I cooked and canned and were best friends. One day after picking green beens and canning them, she said “why are we doing this?” I said “because we always have!” She said Del Monte beans are 25¢. We are not doing this again! We quit making chow chow too. She has a tiny garden now. Daddy died last November. They were married for 56 years. They married at 15 and 16. We make green beens using 2 cans of cut green beans, a can of potatoes or a couple of fresh one if we have them, couple pats of butter. We do the same. Bring to a boil, then cook off almost all the juice. I pour off the juice of one can of the green beans if I’m using canned potatoes on the beans. Yummy! God bless y’all. I’m a retired teacher.
I lost the recipe and am so glad I found y’all ! One of our choir directors made them for a church supper and I thought she had worked all day on the batch☺️ I also like your pan!
I'm from the south....Southwest Louisiana. I never put sugar in my veggies UNTIL my husband's grandmother told me that's what she did. And she is an excellent cook. She's 95. So I guess she knows a thing or two. LOL. I now put sugar in most of my canned vegetables (green bean, corn, lima bean, beets, peas).
I'm 62 hrs old from Mississippi and I've always cooked my beans the way my Mama did, with bacon and onions. I tried this way and I'm reformed!!! My husband and I love them. Thank you Tammy!❤
@CollardValleyCooks served them with my cheaters meatloaf huge hit. Cheaters meatloaf 2lbs of ground meat (I used beef) 1 box of stove top stuffing 2 eggs Mix, cooked at 375 * 45 mins (soft brown) take out, turn off oven, cover with sauce of choice (bbq) place back in oven to caramelize sauce 15 mins. Take out cut and serve
Made these beans for supper my husband absolutely loved them! They taste just like they came fresh out of the garden!❤️Thank you so much for this delicious recipe!
Thank Tammy and Chris. Yes true southerner do put sugar. I remember my aunt putting sugar in corn. Bare in mind this was field corn that we don’t get anymore. Sugar in spaghetti sauce cut the acid in the tomatoes and a little bit in corn bread!! I like to cook a little bacon and put cut up onion in my green beans. Yummy Love Love southern cook.
I put sugar in my spaghetti sauce too and I'm always asked what's the secret to my spaghetti tasting so good. I always add it to corn and cornbread too. Yes yummy. 😋
Lol, my granny's green beans were legend. She lived in the Willamette Valley in Oregon and when the beans were ripe, she would pick bushels and they were FRESH when she cooked then. I took over the family 'green bean granny' recipe. I use frozen and it's a 3:1 ratio of green beans to lima beans, mushrooms, bacon grease and a bit of garlic. I know some would not like the garlic or the lime beans, but my family loves them.
I have used your canned green bean recipe every since I saw it... and it is the best I have had since my grandmother and my aunt Polly passed... they are truly and I mean truly a cherished secret recipe that I'm glad you shared!!! Thanks for doing that!!!
I season my green beans with onion, garlic salt, butter or olive oil and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and add a Chicken Bouillon cube. Cook down leaving a little juice. Ummm, how delicious!
Made the green beans dish (just as you showed us) for my daughter and her fiancé this evening; and they were a big success❣️❣️❣️ Thanks for providing this great recipe and showing us how to make it! Blessings 💕
You are definitely the purest definition of a card, for sure! Not only love your recipes, but love, love, love the way you talk. I am from Mississippi and we talk just like that. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your recipes. So much appreciated, bless your heart! LOL!
Lord Tammy! I cooked these for supper tonight and they're just like the ones my grandmother "put up" out of the garden or those picked fresh! They're my new favorite!!!
Looks so good, especially with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, some green onions on the side, back all that up with some cornbread and wash it down with a glass of sweet tea. My favorite meal when I was a child. And if you were lucky enough to have left over cornbread, take a big glass crumble up the cornbread into it and fill it with buttermik.
I made these tonight and they were SO GOOD! My family (and I) loved them! Our only complaint was that I definitely should have made more 😂 Thank you so much!!
These look just my Grandma Stout’s beans. I have missed these for YEARS! I’m making these with a little fatback and see if they are. She was born 114 years ago and was THE most amazing cook. Now if I can just duplicate her cornbread.
Hi Tammy, sometime ago, I bought Volume 1 & 2 of your cookbooks, and I love them. I watched your TH-cam video on green beans last year, and I was thinking to myself, I wonder how they would taste without using seasoning meat or other seasonings. Well, I watched your video again today and gave it a try. I wanted you to know how delicious and amazing your “Granny Green Beans” (Vol. 1, page 115) are, and how easy and quick it was to prepare. I will be preparing them again. Keep up the good work, and bringing us mire recipes. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this recipe! I just made it for the third time. Besides being so easy to make, and delicious, it also has zero added salt. My Daddy is not supposed to eat salt, so I'm always looking for low sodium recipes. The great thing about this one is it doesn't taste like it's missing salt at all. It's just delicious as it is. Thanks again!
To give thanks to God I want to tell you back in 2022 January. I was in the floor and I couldn’t get up so I called the ambulance if they come help me so they got me up and wanted me to go to the hospital so I went and found out my blood count was 2.3 immediately started working with me give me blood and different things I was in ICU for six days then they said I had to go to rehab for two weeks. God brought me through all of it. I had no clue it was so bad because they said with that blood count I should’ve been dead but I wasn’t for some reason God spared my life he’s given me strength. I still have a few little problems, but it’s amazing that God brought me through that praise Lord.
My best friend's mom served frozen veggies often & she'd add a little sugar to them. It just sort of neutralized the "frozen" taste. They never tasted like there was sugar at all. Very cool green bean technique!
Hello Tammy, I always used any kind of canned green beans I could get my hands on. I always put a little olive oil and maple syrup and cooked them down until they sizzle. The sizzle is what makes them so yummy because it adds a little smokie taste. My family loved my green beans. Your granny green beans sound delicious. Since I'm Diabetic Melittus, I don't fix them anymore. I'm gonna tell my sister how you make yours because she's always asking me to fix her some of my green beans. I know she'll love yours too...maybe even more so. Thank you Tammy . Sending hugs of love to you and Chris from South Carolina
I love, "This is America. You can cook your food any way you want." "Praise the Lord!" :)
Amen!! Way to go Chris 👍😆
Best line of the day!!!

Hello from Georgia That’s the way I cook mine but I add bacon grease in mine alone with can whole potatoes cut in half now I want green beans
They have Italian ones like that,wed put “recycled bacon grease or bacon and butter,was too die for
That sounds good and gives good flavor as opposed to just putting in sugar.

So potatoes will get done in this amount of time.....
Good! I also use some grease and Sautee diced onion at the beginning.

I just love you, Tammy and Chris! You sure bring back our momma’s and granny’s cooking tastes and smells.
Hi am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting..🌹 hope we can be friends thanks
Made em. 1 big can. 1 tablespoon of sugar is too much. Maybe would've been better with 2 large cans or else cut back on the sugar to a teaspoon with the 1 large can.. My granddaughter wasn't crazy about them, she said they tasted burnt. Gonna try them with less sugar next time.
I use DelMonte green beans also, and cook with (smaller can) table spoon each of of bacon grease, sugar, and apple cider vinegar, as my Granny from Rising Fawn did.
Tablespoon for each can ?
I do that but my niece wouldn't eat can green beans but I add 1/4 teaspoon of ginger and she told my daughter that it wasn't out of a can. Try it. From my grandma recipe.
I cook my green beans( canned ones) in bacon grease and put crumbled bacon in them. They are delicious that way
Bacon grease makes everything better.

Great video!! Learned a lot and I’ve been cooking green beans for over 30 years.
You can make these with French style green beans, too. That’s the only kind I had, and I made them and they were absolutely fantastic! Thanks for this wonderful technique!!!
I'm from Rome Georgia we're next door neighbors Tammy and I are she lives in Colorado where she did but they're only a few miles apart but people in the deep South they just don't do French style green beans we just don't even with our green bean casserole as a matter of fact I really don't care for green bean casserole but I love green beans string beans but I don't care for pole beans either and you say there's no difference in the taste well yes there are. I love to get some green beans in the grocery store just a handful and store from an olive oil and then have bacon fresh bacon pieces on spread on top of it with onions that's delicious absolutely delicious great side dish that was fried corn yeah the pork tenderloin fried yeah the coleslaw and cornbread yeah you got a meal and of course we got to have a sweet tea from the south.
my Mike messed up it was supposed to say collard balance right there in Cedartown Georgia that's where her hometown is but I think she lives in Florida now somewhere South I don't I'm not really sure.
Hi am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting..🌹❤ hope we can be friends thanks
Hi Tammy, this is exactly how I grew up eating beans. However my Granny used bacon grease or oil. Whatever she had on hand. Delicious whichever you choose to cook with.
This is just what i like
simple and delicious
i can’t wait to try this!Thank!
I got so tired of throwing away spoiled fresh veggies, I stocked up on canned last time they were on sale. I made these just as you did. Who’d a thunk! They were really good, yes they were mushy, but all canned veggies are. It put a whole new spin and flavor on canned green beans. This was miraculous to me; the flavor was completely changed.
Hi Helene am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting..🌹❤ hope we can be friends thanks
If you have veggies going bad see if any neighbors who have chickens or other animals that would eat them. ❤️
These green beans have changed my life. I’m not joking. I would always spend all day making green beans. I cannot believe how delicious these are. I had to stop myself from eating them yesterday and today. Amazing. Thank you
You guys are adorable! LOL I cringed seeing you not throw that water out the can, but they look so delicious. I think I will try a small can this way and see whatchu talk'n bout girl! LOL
Please do!
@@CollardValleyCooks lol!
You will love them
I never ate canned green beans but these are really good.
I spent 45 years cooking fresh green beans because thats what the women in my family did. Out of laziness I tried canned, now I cook them half the time. I have to toss the canned liquid out myself - I totally understand reason why.
My wife is from the hills of Eastern Kentucky, bordering Virginia. Beans, of all types are daily table fare. My favorite is similar to this recipe. Fresh or canned, Green beans, not drained, snapped or french cut, salt pork, or bacon grease, onions, Knorrs chicken bouillon powder, salt and pepper, potatoes boiled in the pot's juice. Add a great home-made Cole-slaw, and Corn bread to soak/sop up the great juices from both beans and cole slaw. A great meal. Never had it so good.
I love y’all! Glad to see Chris! I just started watching. I’m 56. Remarried 5 years ago to a wonderful man. First husband left out of the blue after 30 yrs. I love how sweet y’all are. Thankful you beat cancer! My mama and I cooked and canned and were best friends. One day after picking green beens and canning them, she said “why are we doing this?” I said “because we always have!” She said Del Monte beans are 25¢. We are not doing this again! We quit making chow chow too. She has a tiny garden now. Daddy died last November. They were married for 56 years. They married at 15 and 16.
We make green beens using 2 cans of cut green beans, a can of potatoes or a couple of fresh one if we have them, couple pats of butter. We do the same. Bring to a boil, then cook off almost all the juice. I pour off the juice of one can of the green beans if I’m using canned potatoes on the beans. Yummy! God bless y’all. I’m a retired teacher.
Yall are precious! Tell ya momma n'em Happy Thanksgiving & God Bless 'erbody fr Nashville, TN 😁
I lost the recipe and am so glad I found y’all ! One of our choir directors made them for a church supper and I thought she had worked all day on the batch☺️ I also like your pan!
You lost the recipe?? And couldn’t remember ‘ empty can in to saucepan ,add sugar and heat ‘?
Hi Lynn am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting hope we can be friends thanks
I've never been so excited to cook green beans 😂 trying today, god bless you southerners
My husband loves when I make Granny green beans.Thanks Tammy! I'm so glad I found your channel.
Very good video!!
The green bean recipe is great! Also, I couldn’t find the pot you are using. Where do I need to look to purchase one.
Look now I fixrd it
I'm making these for our church tonite. Can't wait to try the. I'm from Kentucky
I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I certainly have to. It looks absolutely fabulous.
Hi Mary am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting..🌹❤ hope we can be friends thanks
I did learn to put sugar in vegetables from Grandma Brown. In Lakeland FL. Love watching your channel. That is how Grandma Makes ! God Bless To All 🙏
I'm from the south....Southwest Louisiana. I never put sugar in my veggies UNTIL my husband's grandmother told me that's what she did. And she is an excellent cook. She's 95. So I guess she knows a thing or two. LOL. I now put sugar in most of my canned vegetables (green bean, corn, lima bean, beets, peas).
Traci sugar makes everything tastes better, but it’s grossly unhealthy. It pretty much is incorporated in most American diet.
I'm from Southwest Louisiana too 💜💛
It takes can beans to another level! IT REALLY does inrich the flavor 🌞
Hi Barbara am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting....🌹🌹 hope we can be friends thanks

Hope you enjoy
@@CollardValleyCooks I haven't made a dish of yours that I didn't like so I know I'll enjoy. Thank u for sharing all your recipes 🇺🇸☺
"Praise the Lord" ... how cute!
I'm 62 hrs old from Mississippi and I've always cooked my beans the way my Mama did, with bacon and onions. I tried this way and I'm reformed!!! My husband and I love them. Thank you Tammy!❤
Awesome!
Hi Susan am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting💗💗💗💗🌹🌹🌹. hope we can be friends thanks

Wonderful!

Mix, cooked at 375 * 45 mins (soft brown) take out, turn off oven, cover with sauce of choice (bbq) place back in oven to caramelize sauce 15 mins. Take out cut and serve
You two are just the sweetest couple but Tammy you got the sweetest personality I just adore your demeanor. Good southern cook also.🤗❤
Made these beans for supper my husband absolutely loved them! They taste just like they came fresh out of the garden!❤️Thank you so much for this delicious recipe!
Glad you like them!
@@CollardValleyCooks oh my goodness I’m afraid I made a pig out of myself, they were awesome. Thank you for your replying back. ❤️🙏
No they don’t - they taste like they came out of a can !!
I season mine with bacon grease and onion and they taste just like my grandma,s. Sooo good
Hey, cooking in North Carolina! I tried these green beans today and they are great! Taste just like my grandma's! Thank you so much!!
Thank Tammy and Chris. Yes true southerner do put sugar. I remember my aunt putting sugar in corn. Bare in mind this was field corn that we don’t get anymore. Sugar in spaghetti sauce cut the acid in the tomatoes and a little bit in corn bread!! I like to cook a little bacon and put cut up onion in my green beans. Yummy
Love Love southern cook.
I put sugar in my spaghetti sauce too and I'm always asked what's the secret to my spaghetti tasting so good. I always add it to corn and cornbread too. Yes yummy. 😋
This is my second time making these. They are soooooo good.
Absolutely will be fixing my green beans this way soon. Thank you for sharing this idea. Have a blessed week.
Lol, my granny's green beans were legend. She lived in the Willamette Valley in Oregon and when the beans were ripe, she would pick bushels and they were FRESH when she cooked then. I took over the family 'green bean granny' recipe. I use frozen and it's a 3:1 ratio of green beans to lima beans, mushrooms, bacon grease and a bit of garlic. I know some would not like the garlic or the lime beans, but my family loves them.
I think that sounds wonderful . Km going to try that recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Oh you beautiful people! This is right up my alley. Out of a can. 3 ingredients or less. And DELICIOUS!
I have used your canned green bean recipe every since I saw it... and it is the best I have had since my grandmother and my aunt Polly passed... they are truly and I mean truly a cherished secret recipe that I'm glad you shared!!! Thanks for doing that!!!
Thanks for sharing
I season my green beans with onion, garlic salt, butter or olive oil and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and add a Chicken Bouillon cube. Cook down leaving a little juice. Ummm, how delicious!
Made the green beans dish (just as you showed us) for my daughter and her fiancé this evening; and they were a big success❣️❣️❣️
Thanks for providing this great recipe and showing us how to make it!
Blessings 💕
Great job!
You are definitely the purest definition of a card, for sure! Not only love your recipes, but love, love, love the way you talk. I am from Mississippi and we talk just like that. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your recipes. So much appreciated, bless your heart! LOL!
Man! I need that pot and lid! WOW! 😲
I ordered one tonight from Amazon. Can't wait to get it!
Lol... you show dog you... you cant have them Green Beans!!! Nope she made them for her Husband, ta ta
@Ronald McFondle ❤❤ the lady has all the details in the description box. Amazon.
Lord Tammy! I cooked these for supper tonight and they're just like the ones my grandmother "put up" out of the garden or those picked fresh! They're my new favorite!!!
Awesome!
Hi Dana am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting hope we can be friends thanks
Looks so good, especially with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, some green onions on the side, back all that up with some cornbread and wash it down with a glass of sweet tea. My favorite meal when I was a child. And if you were lucky enough to have left over cornbread, take a big glass crumble up the cornbread into it and fill it with buttermik.
Yessssss, I love them
with onions sliced tomatoes on the side with a slice of buttered bread😋😋😋 #G.R.I.T.S. (GIRL RAISED IN THE SOUTH)
Cornbread and buttermilk, yum, uum
In my family here in Arkansas. We ate our crumbled cornbread in a glass but with sweet milk.
My mom loved corn bread and butter milk.Dad loves corn bread and sweet milk. mom would put chop onions in hers.
My sister from another mother had her mama’s best green beans ever. Ive never been able to replicate them! Maybe now!
❤You two are just the absolute cutest couple ever! Love your channel❤
I so enjoy this show
Ignore the haters Tammy, keep going
I made these tonight and they were SO GOOD! My family (and I) loved them! Our only complaint was that I definitely should have made more 😂 Thank you so much!!
Glad you like them!
These look just my Grandma Stout’s beans. I have missed these for YEARS! I’m making these with a little fatback and see if they are. She was born 114 years ago and was THE most amazing cook. Now if I can just duplicate her cornbread.
Exactly how I do mine. Thanks to my granny and my mom.
I just love you and Chris!
I am going to make this recipe. I love green beans!
Looking so good my son LOVE'S the green beans. He cooks most of the time will let him know. Love watching y'all appreciate yours cooking.❤🙏
Hi Tammy, sometime ago, I bought Volume 1 & 2 of your cookbooks, and I love them. I watched your TH-cam video on green beans last year, and I was thinking to myself, I wonder how they would taste without using seasoning meat or other seasonings. Well, I watched your video again today and gave it a try. I wanted you to know how delicious and amazing your “Granny Green Beans” (Vol. 1, page 115) are, and how easy and quick it was to prepare. I will be preparing them again. Keep up the good work, and bringing us mire recipes. Thank you so much.
Wonderful!
Thank you for this recipe! I just made it for the third time. Besides being so easy to make, and delicious, it also has zero added salt. My Daddy is not supposed to eat salt, so I'm always looking for low sodium recipes. The great thing about this one is it doesn't taste like it's missing salt at all. It's just delicious as it is. Thanks again!
Wonderful!
If you don't to rinse the beans in water before you cook th it is full of salt
To give thanks to God I want to tell you back in 2022 January. I was in the floor and I couldn’t get up so I called the ambulance if they come help me so they got me up and wanted me to go to the hospital so I went and found out my blood count was 2.3 immediately started working with me give me blood and different things I was in ICU for six days then they said I had to go to rehab for two weeks. God brought me through all of it. I had no clue it was so bad because they said with that blood count I should’ve been dead but I wasn’t for some reason God spared my life he’s given me strength. I still have a few little problems, but it’s amazing that God brought me through that praise Lord.
My best friend's mom served frozen veggies often & she'd add a little sugar to them. It just sort of neutralized the "frozen" taste. They never tasted like there was sugar at all. Very cool green bean technique!
So you can do this with frozen green beans too? That's what my husband brought me. I'm cooking them today.
This is the exact way my granny cooked them. They are fantastic!
Hello Tammy, I always used any kind of canned green beans I could get my hands on. I always put a little olive oil and maple syrup and cooked them down until they sizzle. The sizzle is what makes them so yummy because it adds a little smokie taste. My family loved my green beans. Your granny green beans sound delicious. Since I'm Diabetic Melittus, I don't fix them anymore. I'm gonna tell my sister how you make yours because she's always asking me to fix her some of my green beans. I know she'll love yours too...maybe even more so. Thank you Tammy . Sending hugs of love to you and Chris from South Carolina
Hi Janet am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting hope we can be friends thanks
I can tell you from experience, my mama cooked them this way and I do too! They taste absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing!
I just made this along with my roast and white rice,these are by far the BEST beans I've tried. Right on thanks
You could use that as your slogan “It’s so good that it changed my life” , I love the beautiful way you say it !
Those beans look delicious! Can't wait to try making my green beans that way...yum!
Thanks!
Thank you 😊
This sounds like a really easy trick to make the green beans taste like homemade. Love it love it love it..😋
Hi Susan am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting hope we can be friends thanks
I’ve made this three times now. This will be the only way I prepare beans for a quick dinner. Thanks kindly!
Wonderful!
Merci, chere! ⚜️For making these videos. I have learned so much from you, AND every recipe I have tried has been delicious! You and Chris are amazing.
