Good base recipe for green beans. I recommend doubling the bacon (crisping does add more flavor), and using “better than bullion” chicken soup base.
Green Beans cooked low and slow until soft and tender in a bacon-infused broth.

Instructions
Brown and crisp bacon in a large pot. Remove bacon from pot and reserve.
Add green beans to pot along with all remaining ingredients, except butter.
Bring to a boil and then turn heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Drain beans and add butter if using. Check beans for seasoning and add extra salt and pepper to taste. I like lots of black pepper. Sprinkle with bacon and toss to distribute the bacon and butter.
