Do you enjoy eating at Cracker Barrel? I know that when we travel, we gravitate toward these restaurants since we can eat a tasty, balanced meal selected from their varied menu. I think most people love Cracker Barrel's green beans and if you're one of those people, you're in luck! This is their official published recipe. My mother served these beans yesterday with our Easter dinner and they tasted delicious!
Cracker Barrel Green Beans
1/4 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
3 cans cut green beans, with the liquid
1/4 yellow onion, chopped
1 T sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
In a 2 quart medium pan, over medium heat, cook bacon until lightly browned (but not crisp). When browned, add green beans (and their liquid), salt, pepper and sugar and mix well. Place chopped onion on top of beans; do not stir in. Cover sauce pan and bring to a light boil. Turn down heat and simmer for at least 45 minutes until the liquid is minimal. (Note that she simmered hers over an hour.)
A perk, of course, to eating at Cracker Barrel is strolling through their country store since I find their merchandise so attractive and unique. In fact, this attractive and unique print came home with us the last time we went. We both loved the three foot by two foot wall hanging so much that we purchased it for an early joint anniversary gift and we can't wait until May when we'll be using it for seasonal patriotic decoration above the fireplace.
Happy Monday!
