Dirty Dirty Green Beans
Dirty Dirty Green Beans
Here's a nice and simple recipe to make some down and dirty southern style green beans.
I start with some nice thick slab bacon and sliced onion, in a very hot iron skillet. Be sure and don't skimp on the bacon, use Wright slab hickory smoked bacon. Most of the time I use slab pepper bacon, but this time, I didn't have any.
Once it cooks down, dump in a couple cans of green beans. You can use french cut, but I like whole cut green beans. I use the generic store brand canned beans, because once I season them it won't really matter that they aren't a more expensive name brand. You can use frozen or fresh green beans as well, but be sure and add some chicken or beef broth. Use the liquid in the can as well to deglaze all of the tasty bits stuck to the bottom.
I run the heat on high to boil down and reduce the liquid.
Now the seasoning. I used fresh ground sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper, old Bay, garlic powder, and a little lemon pepper.
Now put it on low to let it simmer and reduce down.
Pure money, yes this is a nice cup of pot liquer. Even momma was enjoying this.
And here we are with a nice baked garlic chicken with spiral pasta casserole.

Looks tasty!
So it's kinda hard to give exact amounts on the spices and stuff. But, the chicken casserole is easy.
These are the ingredients:
- 4-5 chicken thighs (you can use breasts, but thighs cook easier, and have a lot more taste in my opinion)
- 3 cups of spiral pasta(you can even get some of those pasta dishes from Lipton or Betty Crocker, and use the pasta and seasoning packet inside)
- 3 cups of water or chicken broth
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup (can also use cream of broccoli, mushroom, whatever)
- crumb topping (use Ritz crackers, crushed, mixed in a bowl with a couple spoons of butter, enough so that it kinda sticks together, but not too wet)
Place the chicken pieces over the pasta, skin side up, season with salt pepper and garlic powder
Pour the can of soup over the chicken and pasta
Cover with foil tightly and cook for 40 minutes at 400 degrees
Pull out and check to see if chicken is almost done, if it is, then take off the foil and sprinkle crumb topping over everything and back for another 15 minutes at 375 degrees
Another variation to this is my Poppyseed chicken. I'll post up that killer recipe soon it'll make you want to slap yo mamma.
Done
