"Found at a cooking-by-country (or region) website, just reading this recipe took me back decades to a time growing up when we would pick beans from the garden & cook them until soft w/onion & ham or bacon. I never cared what the main-course was as long as I could have a HUGE plate of those green beans. If it was my choice to make, I would definitely double this recipe! Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat oil in a frying pan. Add the bacon, onion, garlic plus parsley & sauté until onion is soft & golden brown.
Step 2
Add the beans, salt to taste preference & Creole seasoning. Reduce heat to low & cook gently for about 30 min or until beans are soft (Add a sml amt of water if needed to keep the beans from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
NOTE: We all know that green beans cannot always be in season when we want them to be. So in that case, you may use a good quality canned variety, but will of course need to reduce the cooking time to a point they are well-flavored by the other ingredients
