    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. She would be 106 now. Picked cotton for neighbors, made butter, never had A/C. Never moved from her home place. Whole ‘nother world. Days gone by. Georgia

    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.

    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.

    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.
