My Cajun grandmother does green beans this same way(minus the tomatoes and green pepper).We always add a teaspoon or so of sugar to ours so I added it to this too!!Ooooh weee this were good!I let 'em simmer for a while longer with the tomatoes and we couldnt have asked for a better side dish!Thanks for sharing!! -
These were delicious. I didn't have a green pepper, but I am sure that only adds to the flavor. It was a delightful change of pace. Even my children who complain when I spice things up loved it.I added some Frank's Hot Sauce and some Tony Chachere's cajun seasoning. Yum! Also, I just added the beans to the sauce and simmered until they were good and tender. -
Great recipe. I also add Tony Cachere's cajun seasoning, mild green chilis and New Mexico Hatch chilis. My husband loves this. -
Great flavor! I like this recipe because it uses ingredients I always have on hand anyway. I used canned beans and added some creole seasoning and it was still fantastic. I made it for my family at Christmas and by the time I made it to the table, there was none left for me! Even my hubby who doesn't care for green beans ate them up and asked for more. Last time I made it, I had no bacon, so sauted in olive oil and it's still good.

My hobbies are numerous and diverse. They range from being an avid reader to decorating home, loving cats, embroidery, painting, writing poems and letters to friends, endless thinking, collecting candles, music, trying various cuisines and reaching out to people.
I love cooking and devising ways to smash set patterns of cooking. I do not like over use of spices in the cooking and am dead against using readymade or canned ingredients.
Cooking is my favourite prescription for busting all the stress that I accumulate in the work place.
