Notes

  • Do not drain the canned green beans; the juices are used to warm the beans.
  • After frying up the bacon, keep the grease to add with the bacon. Bacon grease adds great flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon is the equivalent of 6 chicken bouillon cubes.
  • Taste before serving.  If needed, add additional salt and pepper.
