Green Beans

My mom always makes her green beans with bacon grease and once you've had them that way, no other green bean can compare. I always add fresh onion and garlic. I like how the Pioneer Woman adds red peppers to hers. It makes them pretty and they taste good. So here is how I make green beans. 

Ingredients:

1 lb fresh green beans or canned green beans, drained
1-2 T bacon grease
3 garlic cloves
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 small red pepper, diced (The Pioneer Woman Way)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Melt bacon grease in a pan. Saute onions and garlic for a few minutes. Add green beans and stir. Cook about 5 minutes, (if using fresh green beans, cook until bright green) then add broth, red pepper (if using) and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until desired tenderness.
