Turkey Bacon Green Beans- Quick & Easy Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipe

[46kellen]

Wow a family favorite.....When my kids were small we lived on scant cash but always had home canned green beans. We would simmer some chunked potatoes, when just tender add a jar of beans, a bullion cube and some bacon. Simmer together until potatoes were done. It was an inexpensive dinner served with home baked bread and butter. Having not much cash makes you be very inventive and use your imagination

My mom makes something similar to this every Thanksgiving but she uses teryaki sauce and honey to glaze them omg yummmy!!

[TheCraftyGemini]

@Snugglebunnyac8165 oooh.. sounds delish! :o)

[MerryJ3000]

btw, i love that you steam the veggies instead of boiling the life out of them, lol! every time i see someone boiling veggies i say in a high-pitched voice, "you are killing me!"

[TheCraftyGemini]

@MerryJ3000 Tell me about it! One of my pet peeves is when I see anyone serving brown vegetables that should be green! :oP

[MerryJ3000]

@TheCraftyGemini Exactly!

[srode1977]

That looks really good. I do something similar with snow peas, onions and turkey bacon.

[TheCraftyGemini]

@srode1977 oooh! Sounds yummy. I'm going to be planting some peas in my garden so I'll have to try that. Thanks for the idea! :o)

[MerryJ3000]

yes, I make this dish every year! my grandma used to use hamhocks, but i'm a little more health-conscious, so I tried turkey bacon and it works perfectly!

[TheCraftyGemini]

@MerryJ3000 Yup!! :o)

[festrella53]

Oh my,oh my! yummy, yummy!

[aglanceatmyworld]

Looks so yummy! I really love green beans :)

[craftymom7]

Thank you Vanessa. I really have to try turkey bacon. Does it really taste like reg bacon? Looks vey tempting. lol

[TheCraftyGemini]

@craftymom7 No problem. If you eat it in strips it does taste somewhat different. But I find that when its crispy and in smaller bites it's pretty close. My husband can't tell the difference. :o)

[craftymom7]

@TheCraftyGemini Thx I will try it.

Such a plus, that hubby can"t tell the difference. Hope everyone in my family will like it,. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

[TheCraftyGemini]
