Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 56 ounces canned green beans
  • 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Chop the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and place in a large, hot skillet over medium heat. Fry until just starting to brown.
  • Stir in the onions and continue cooking until the bacon crisps and the onions soften.
  • Add the green beans and juice from the can to the skillet and scrape the bottom of the pan. 
  • Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for one hour, stirring in water or chicken broth as needed to keep the pan from getting completely dry.
  • Stir in the canned tomatoes (drained) and cook for a few minutes until heated through. 
  • Add salt to taste.
