Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute vegetable oil or olive oil for bacon drippings.

    Easy but I think I prefer green beans with just salt, pepper, and garlic

    Tasty, if a bit warm for my taste. Instead of fresh beans, I used frozen and skipped the blanching step. It worked perfectly.

    Quite good. Made half a recipe with garden green beans, also used garden tomatoes and chiles instead of canned.

  • lholtzman on January 21, 2024

    Regular canned tomatoes work as well.

    One of my favorite ways to make green beans. Smoked paprika adds a lot to this dish. I reduce rotel by 1/3c when feeding more sensitive eaters. May try full amount of mild rotel instead.

    Great way to use up a prolific amount of green beans.

    This turned out to be a very good recipe for some tough green beans. It is very easy to make.

    Used vegetable oil. Very good.
