No one cooks up a home cooked meal like the Cracker Barrel the Old Country Store. The green beans are a side dish not to be missed. These beans have a wonderful smokey flavor with the bacon. Every time I go and order these green beans I am instantly transformed into my Grandmother’s kitchen at a Sunday dinner.

Cracker Barrel the Old Country Store Green Beans

1/4 pound sliced bacon
3 cans (14 and 1/2 oz.) whole green beans–do not drain liquid
1/4 of a medium sized onion, chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
In a two quart sauce pan on medium heat, cook bacon until lightly brown but not crisp. When bacon has browned, add green beans. Add salt, sugar, and pepper and mix well. Place onion on top of green beans; cover with a lid and bring to a light boil. Turn heat down to low and simmer beans for 45 minutes.
Cooking the green beans for 45 minutes on a very low simmer will blend the flavors. I must say, we love a variety of vegetables at every meal, but green beans can be on my plate several times a week.
