Reminds me of something my Grandmother would cook, quick and easy from Mr. Food 06/05/14:
Steamin' Taters 'n' Beans
SERVES 6 COOK TIME 45 Min READY IN 45 Min
Sometimes simple is best...like here we've got fresh green beans and red potatoes boiled up with a little salt pork. Steamin' Taters 'n' Beans is a Southern classic that combines great flavorwith ease -- our favorite combo!
What You'll Need:
1 (2-ounce) piece salt pork, (see note)
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 small red potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut in half
2 teaspoons salt
(OPTIONAL ADD: Enjoy With Creamy & Indulgent Carbonara Sauce *SEE LINK BELOW)
What To Do:
In a large pot, combine salt pork, green beans, and pepper with enough water to cover. Place potatoes on top and sprinkle with salt. Cover loosely and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 to 35 minutes, or until potatoes and beans are tender. Serve in bowls with broth.
Notes
Three slices of raw bacon will work just as well as salt pork.
In the South, they call the broth "pot liquor" and serve it with plenty of cornbread for dunking. Here's one of our yummy cornbread recipes for you to try!
