Grandmother's Green Beans
As featured in The Applegatarian.
"This is a traditional Southern-style recipe that my grandmother, Wilmuth, always made. My family is very large (over 120 of us!), and these green beans are on the table at every meal. We make them with beans that we can from our garden. The most crucial thing is that you don't stir them-if my grandmother saw you stirring them, she would give you a smack! She passed away six years ago at the age of 94. My Uncle Eddie now cooks the green beans, and we all laugh about not stirring them."
