#1..do NOT add ANY salt until cooking is done and you have tasted this first. Original recipie was WAY TOO salty. I used olive oil in place of bacon grease, much tastier. I also suggest a few ounces of country style ham, chopped up, in place of bacon or other meat. I also reduced the cooking time of the green beans. One thing you must follow in this recipie.....USE THE FRESH BEANS!!!! Canned or otherwise will make a nasty mush of your recipie

This recipe is top notch. But if you do not have red potatoes will work also but be sure and use fresh green beans. They are the bomb. If you want to make a change a good substitution for the potatoes is fresh corn sliced off the cob. Brown the corn in the bacon fat, remove and add back later so as to not overcook the corn. If you cannot find the pork fat in you store, pork bacon will work just fine.

I always thought my fresh green beans and new potatos were good but followed Paula's recipe with chicken broth and these were out of this world good!!! I used a piece of country ham and deglazed pot with chicken broth...then added beans and more broth. Followed the rest as written. Fantastic!!!!

I don't eat pork so I used turkey bacon and olive oil. I'm positive that this recipe would be 5-star-amazing with pork bacon and bacon fat (if you like pork.

Terrific recipe - always get terrific results and compliments from everyone at the table - even kids! It's not easy to find salt pork in my local store, so I use thick-sliced bacon instead. For those of you who are tempted to substitute frozen or canned green beans - do yourself a favor and try it with fresh. Fresh beans, although they require more work, are well worth the labor - they have a natural sweetness that tastes great with the savory flavors in the dish. Also good without the potatoes.

Being from Kentucky and now in Michigan, this is the only way i cook my beans and potatoes, I've taught these northerners a few things about cooking!! Every summer i make these weekly, can't get enough of them..ive even done them in the crock when it is to hot to heat up the house but it does take awhile...so make the day before, always taste better the next anyways!

Thank you Paula for taking me back to the "good old days". I haven't green beans and potatoes like this since I was a little girl, I'm now 64 years old. My family enjoyed their dinner and they keep talking about it. Absolutely delicious!

I made these for Thanksgiving and they were a big hit. These were some of the best green beans I've ever had.

I am from the South and these are the best beans ever! I used canned green beans, and omit the salt pork, but this is my only way of cooking green beans now. Could not do without tis recipe!
