Thanksgiving Series: Southern-Style Green Beans (GF)

Ingredients:

• 4 16-oz cans green beans

• 4 cups (one box) veggie broth (I used Imagine brand “no-chicken” broth)

• 3 Tbsp olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high

2. Add garlic and saute until browned (this adds a nice “meaty” flavor)

3. Drain green beans and add to pot. Stir together with garlic and saute for about a minute.

4. Pour broth over beans and bring to a low boil (medium-low heat).

5. Cook for 3.5 hours on a low boil/high simmer, continuously adding liquid so the beans are always covered by at least a 1/2 inch (add more broth if desired, but I just used water). Stir every 30 min or so to avoid burning/sticking to the bottom of the pot. Be careful not to break or mash the beans while stirring.

6. Once beans are melt-in-your-mouth tender, stop adding liquid and continue simmering for about 20 more minutes until all the liquid is cooked off.

7. Enjoy!
