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
