Directions

  1. 1. Dice the bacon and put it in a medium size sauce pot along with the vegetable oil and onion. Set the heat at medium high, when the bacon is hot lower the heat to medium. Cook for three to five minutes, stirring regularly, until the onion is translucent and most of the fat has been rendered from the bacon.
  2. 2. Add the liquid from the green beans (reserving the beans themselves), boullion cubes, salt and pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil.
  3. 3. Reduce the heat to medium high and continue cooking until the liquid has been reduced by half.
  4. 4. Add the beans; stir to mix well. The beans are cooked during the canning process, all you want to do is heat them up with the seasoned liquid.
  5. 5. Serve while hot.
