Cooked-to-Death Green Beans Recipe-February 2024-www.zdask.com

　　I make this with our home-canned green beans, but canned green beans from your grocery store cook down nicely with a little help from a ham hock. The recipe says to cook these for 30 minutes. I would really say just to cook them to death, but 30 minutes sounds sweeter.

Ingredients

serves 4

　　2 quarts home-canned green beans or canned Blue Lake variety, with their liquid

　　1/2 pound cured ham hock (see Note)

Step 1

Put the beans, their liquid, and the ham in a large, heavy saucepan. Cook, uncovered, on medium heat for 30 minutes. The beans are ready when the liquid has cooked down.

Note

Step 2

Salt pork or Goya Ham-Flavored Seasoning may be substituted for the ham hock.
