Simple but delicious. I’ve made a slight modification to her recipe (chicken stock), and these are slightly better than Grammy’s (did I say that?)

Ingredients:

    1) I lb. green beans, trimmed (only where they were attached to the vine…the curly bits on the bottom are fine)

    2) Three slices/rashers bacon, chopped

    3) 1/2 C. chicken stock

    4) 1 Tbsp cider vinegar

Method:

1) Chop the beans to your preferred length:

    2) Cook the bacon over medium heat for three to four minutes:

    3) Add the chicken stock and beans.  Cover.

    4)  Simmer/steam over medium heat for eight minutes.  Test for doneness.  If not to your liking, continue to cook, covered, checking every minute.

    5)  Stir in the vinegar and cook for 30 seconds.

    6) Enjoy!
