Fresh String Beans

Fresh string beans take a little prep work but it doesn’t take long. If you have kids, this is something they can do.  Instead of bouillon to season your string beans you can also use seasoning meat or bacon.

Ingredients

1
cup Fresh String Beans
1
beef bouillon cube

Directions

Snap off the ends of the beans and discard.  Then snap your beans to the desired length, one to two inches.  Wash your string beans several times.  Put them into your pot with about 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.  Then cut the heat down to medium and cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours.  Let the water cook down and almost out.  Add a beef bouillon cube after the first hour of cooking.  Drain all the water off and add salt right before serving.
