Southern Style Green Beans
"I have made these beans for numerous events and people. Everyone seems to love them. I got the recipe from my great grandmother who was a wonderful cook and person! She always thought sugar was necessary in EVERY dish she made. As I said everyone always request these when I am asked to bring a dish! These are definately NOT on anyone's diet plan because of the fat and sugar, but they are oh so good!!"

These beans are just like what my grandma made many many years ago and we've carried on the same. Yes they are on the sweet side, but the taste brings back tons of good old memories of family. Vicki
