Creole Green Beans Recipe - transform canned green beans into something amazing! Green beans, bacon, onion, green pepper, brown sugar, mustard, stewed tomatoes, and Worcestershire sauce. SO good! I could make a meal out of these green beans! Great with chicken, pork, and beef. Ready in 20 minutes!
Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving drippings.
Sauté onion and pepper in bacon drippings until tender. Stir in flour, brown sugar, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Stir in tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce.
Stir in green beans and cook until thickened and thoroughly heated, about 10 minutes. Top with cooked bacon.
Notes:
I used canned green beans. Feel free to substitute fresh or frozen green beans.
You will need 2.25-pounds of fresh green beans.
You will need 3 (9-oz) bags of frozen green beans.
If using fresh green beans, cook them for about 9 minutes in boiling water before adding them to the skillet.
If using frozen green beans, cook them according to the package directions before adding to the skillet.
Feel free to substitute turkey bacon for the pork bacon.
Even though there are only two of us, I made the whole recipe so we could have leftovers for the rest of the week. They tasted great reheated and it saved me a bunch of time cooking dinner.
You can make the green beans and freeze the leftovers for a quick side dish later. To reheat, thaw and reheat in the microwave or the stovetop.
