Sweet southern stewed green beans perfect for a pitch-in or pot luck. Not as "single" as some of my dishes but then again this is something you will probably make to share with others. From the recipe book of "The Jazz Cooker" it was served at the restaurant and one of my favorite sides.

I don't mind using canned beans for this recipe (the 3lb can is the largest I could find at the store) but if you prefer to use fresh--double the cooking time to 2 or more hours so they become nice and tender.
