These smothered green beans are one of the most requested at home. Incredibly easy to make using just a couple of simple ingredients and ready in a snap. This is also amazing for potlucks. Smothered green beans are made with canned green beans that have been cooked in bacon and brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, and garlic mixture.
Recipes like this are a must and a keeper! It’s simple and could be thrown away in a couple of minutes. Leftovers of these smothered green beans are also great to enjoy for several days, and they still taste awesome! So good even your picky eaters will love this!
I have shared the recipe for these smothered green beans with friends and colleagues. They all love everything about this dish. And, of course, anything with bacon is a must! I have also brought this casserole to so many potlucks, and everybody gets seconds! These smothered green beans pair well with just about anything! But I especially love this with grilled chicken and pork chops.
