My mama always cooked green beans and new potatoes with ham. She’d cook them for hours. The liquid she called “pot liquor”. The pot liquor was quite tasty. She swore the dish tasted better the next day. She’d stick the pot in the ice box and eat off it for days.
Grandma used to fix a big pot of green beans, a huge skillet of fried potatoes and two pans of biscuits. Oh and cherry kool-aid in speckled plastic cups. I miss my grandma and I miss her wonderful meals.
I grew up with green bean stew . Take ham ,make broth but dont over cook the game. Then do your green beans and add a can of creamed corn and do your potatoes in your such oven. . I hope you tru this I serve it with corn bread . God bless you . I love this stew. My great grandma and all her girls taught the family .
You can freeze your beef stew. Before you freeze it, remove the potatoes, use them for fried potatoes or hash. Freeze the stew. When you know you are going to have the stew again, make extra of this recipe and put these beans and taters in your reheated stew! You can freeze potatoes if they are mashed. Thank you so much for these videos!
Lauri Pine I learned something new, thank you... I always wanted to freeze stew and cudn’t because of the potatoes, a great idea about greens beans and taters reheated stew...
Just had our first pot full of the season today. With some leftover Christmas ham saved in the freezer for this very reason. Slow cooked in the crock pot to keep the heat down in the kitchen. Who says if you can't stand the heat I can't still play in the kitchen. Can't beat garden fresh taters and beans. Oh yeah. Even threw an onion in the pot.
I learned to make this from my Grandmother and my mother.. Grandma was from Arkansas before the family moved to Kansas where my mom grew up. Grandma always had a garden in the back of the house and grew her own green beans. I remember her sitting at the table with a bowl of freshly picked beans snapping them to size. But we learned to cook our green beans and taters with bacon and diced onion. Since the beans had bacon (meat) in them, sometimes this was the whole meal. Maybe served with some cornbread. Instead of being a side dish. Other times it was served as a side to some meat, maybe some fried chicken or something. But always seasoned with bacon and onion cooked in with the green beans and potatoes.
Becky, good job on this video. Green beans and new potatoes are one of my favorites, too! Instead of butter, try this... Use a little bacon grease, less than a tablespoon, and if you have some real crisp bacon, crumble it up and throw it in there, too. There's additional flavor for you, and makes a wonderful dish even more delicious!
Thank you :) This is the Hillbilly Kitchen :) Bacon is a food group. I like them both ways and your right just a spoon of bacon grease, any more and they are just greasy. I was thinking about doing a video new taters, green beans and bacon, which is about as good as life gets!
I can eat the green beans and potatoes as a meal to I usually make a huge pot of them but I always boil them down with a few slices if bacon for flavor it is so delicious it is one of those meals you want to keep eating even if your not hungry because it taste so good....when my daughter was in pre School she just loved to snap green beans with me.... I really wish I could get some kind of a garden going.... I'd love to see a video on how to start a simple garden 💜💚💟💛💙
I love that you're not cooking them in bacon fat. I've tried that recipe over and over and it never comes out right, just greasy.....this is simple and just perfect. Thank you, Becky!
+Lori Williams Thank you :) If you are using a big bean like a half rummer they could take longer to cook, up to 3 hours, so cook them for awhile before you add your taters. I should have noted that I was using a small tender young bean in the video and different varieties take longer to cook. I never add much fat of any kind when I am cooking because we don't like greasy food, just a little for flavor. I honestly don't know how people eat beans with 2 or 3 inches of fat stand on the top of the pot.
Thanks for the tip because my husband won't eat taters with the skin on, so I will have to add them later so they don't turn to mush. As aways, love your videos....God Bless!
+Lori Williams Bret hates the shins but I make him eat them on new taters because they are good for him :) If you drop the taters in boiling water for a few minutes, then in ice water the shins will slide right off with your fingers. It is faster and easier than peeling them and you don't waste any of the tater. Or you could be mean like me and make him eat the skins :)
great recipe. i always add a beef bouillon cube to mine while its boiling it helps with flavor. im like you i could eat this alone with a piece of cornbread lol
I'm like you, I can make a meal out of just the green beans and taters. Never thought of cooking off the liquid to enhance the flavors. Great idea! Thanks for the tips. Like the different camera angles.
+kats mama Thank you! You are the first one who has commented on the new camera. Bret had been driving me crazy to add another camera. He likes it also, which makes me happy :)
just sat down with a saucer of beans that I now know I have been prepping wrong for over 30 years... Looking forward to de-stringed beans next week, Thanks
Now your talking,, this was my favorite dish that my Granny Perry cooked ! My brother just to visit for a week from FL and I made him a big ole pot of them !
+Kathy Dobrzynski My granny made them too. I wish I had all of her recipes written down. I don't think she owned a cookbook. Everything she cooked was handed down to her or she figured it out on her own. The desserts that she made out fresh picked fruits and berries were the best.
My granny didn't have a cookbook either. She always said come help and find out when we would ask how to make something. Wish i would have written it all down now.
Becky, I am so pleased you put this video out today! I was going to search your channel today on how to cook fresh green beans. lol Thanks for being right on time, lady!I have only cooked them once and that was 30 years ago and though I don't recall how I cooked them; but, I do recall they were very yummy. My son is going to University (two states away) this Friday and I wanted to make him one last home cooked meal so I bought the beans from a lady at work that grows them organically. He loves green beans and for shame he wants them in his cottage pie. ( I have always made it with the corn and green beans mixed into the potatoes.) I had visions of a delicious side of beans.. but, hey, whatever he wants. In fact, I told him I would only serve them on the side; however, I will put some in and have some on the side. I can not THANK you enough! I am so happy. Blessings to you and all of yours.PS I would just like to add that my dear child earned a Presidential Scholarship for 146,000$. That is for 4 years! However, he intends to pursue a doctorate in nuclear physics no less. I told him he better make good grades so he can get another scholarship for that PHD. Anyhow, you made my day. Thanks.
+Katerina Kiaha Those beans were small blue lake beans, if you have a bigger bean like a half-runner they will take longer to cook, up to three hours. Congratulations on the brilliant son and all the scholarships. What university is he going to attend?
The Hillbilly Kitchen - Down Home Country Cooking I honestly do not know where the msg was sent. I have not found it anywhere that I KNOW where to look. Thank you so kindly and as always may yours be blessed.
I love your channel. New subscriber today. Greetings from Michigan and Jerry and Linda's Place. Also, Triever's World. My husband and I are Christians too. 😀💝
My mother-in-law is from Detroit. We have visited a few times. There is is beautiful country when you get out of the city😁 Thank you for watching and commenting! God Bless You!
Have you ever tried fried snap beans/string beans? You do it the same as you would fried okra. I wouldn't use canned beans though, you would need fresh beans, par boiled just enough to make them tender enough to eat, then just coat them in the same coating mixture, you would use for okra and fry them. Very good, in my opinion.
Why don't you cook a big pot of beans that way you have left overs for a day or two. My mom use to say that green spot was poison also. Awesome video thanks for sharing.
A few years ago my neighbor told me she puts a bullion cube in her pot of beens when they start to get tender. The saltiness of the bullion cube flavors her beans and depending what meat she is having she will use chicken or beef bullion.
Funny how times have changed, If my southern granny had seen potatoes in her pot cooked with the skin on them, SHE WOULD HAVE THROWN POT AND FOOD AWAY! That would have been NASTINESS to her.
I just wanted to let you know that your Granny was right about green potatoes being poison. Potatoes are part of the Nightshade family and eating green potatoes can make you sick. I also wanted to let you know I love your videos, your recipes are just like the ones I grew up on and learned to cook. Keep up the awesome videos. :)
Thank you :) Green potatoes are so bitter, I don't know how anybody could eat enough to make them sick. Thanks for the information. Granny was right about most things :)
Hey Becky, I'm going to tag you to do a video of 10 questions about food. Look for my video titled "I've been tagged" write down the questions, answer them in your own I've been tagged video and at the end name 3 new people you want to tag to do the questionnaire. It's simple and fun. I'll have mine up in a day or two, then it's your turn!
Hi Becky. Those new potatoes and green beans sure do look delicious. You're right, these could go with anything or by themselves. Becky, did you hear about the woman clerk who refused to give a marriage license to two men at the county clerk's office? I forgot what state this happened in, but she refused to give them a marriage license and now she might have to go to jail for going against the justice supreme court ruling. She stood her ground and said she is aware that she might have to go to jail.
+Lila Arce I heard about her. I think she is in Texas. There were several clerks in Tennessee who also refused and our governor ordered to obey the supreme court or leave office. They are elected so I don't know if he has that power and I haven't heard anything about it since they had the meeting right after the decision. Ray Comfort made a movie right before the decision came out. I really like the way he addresses the issue. The entire movie is now on RU-vid. It is called "Audacity". It is a typical Christian movie but there are interviews in the middle of the movie. The interviews are Ray Comfort explaining why gay marriage is against God's Law. This is a link to the movie ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tbPu2rtmDbY.html
+The Hillbilly Kitchen - Down Home Country Cooking Thursday afternoon, as Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis was arrested after failing to issue marriage licenses.
MARTYR: A Martyr is somebody who suffers persecution and/or death for advocating, renouncing, refusing to renounce and/or refusing to advocate a belief or cause of either a religious or secular nature. In other words, She is being martyred for her FAITH.
That green spot you'd mentioned is called Solanine. This is considered a neurotoxin, and ingestion by humans can cause nausea and headaches and can lead to serious neurological problems and even death if enough is consumed. A recent study suggested that a 16-oz (450-gram) fully green potato is enough to make a small adult ill. Cooking does not destroy the solanine toxin, so the green parts of potatoes should be removed entirely. Green potatoes should especially not be served to children, whose smaller bodies make them more susceptible to poisoning. To reduce the risks, potatoes should be stored in cool dark areas, and when in doubt, throw them out (or plant them in your garden!).
All of your dishes look sooooo good but I was wondering why you left the potatoes whole when you made this dish instead of cutting them at least in half so they would cook faster. I see that other people on RU-vid who made this dish also left their potatoes whole. Would it make them not taste as good if they were cut up prior to cooking?
I ALWAYS TOLD YOU HAD TO COOK FRESH GARDEN GREEN BEANS 3 HOUURS BEFORE YOU ATE THEM AND TO BOIL THEM IN THE JARS WHILE WATER BATHING CANNING THEM FOR 3 HRS ALSO TO BE SURE TO COOK THOURLY TO BECERTAIN TO KKILL OF BACTERIA IN THE BEANS
