This is wrong, I was a hot prep cook there for years. The broth is made from water, white pepper, and ham base (pork bouillon). You cook the bacon pieces down till they are brick red, add the onions and cook until translucent, add some chopped garlic then add the broth, you let the broth simmer for 20 minutes are so, add the Del Monte canned green beans (strained) to the broth, bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. You do no boil or simmer the green beans for long just enough to heat through, this is important so that you dont over cook them. They are best made a day in advance, we werent supossed to sell them until they had aged a day to absorb the broth.

Use canned green beans sautee bacon remove modt of the dripping render down a handful of onions until translucent. Then drop green beans in. Stir till coated with bacon grease. Add black pepper and some some garlic. Keep stirring. Simmer for a few minutes and use some liquid smoke about a tablespoon and a teaspoon of Montreal strakseasoning.. Simmer a few minutes and add the crumbled bacon you removed earlier. Let simmer 10-15 minutes and its ready to serve. You guys that are missing the bite or kick try the steak seasoning and liquid smoke. It really kicks it up.

It had been years since I had been to Texas Roadhouse...there wasn't one close enough until recently. I found this recipe and made it a few times with everyone liking it. When, they finally built a Texas Roadhouse somewhat close, my husband and I went. I'm not sure what they did different but it was nowhere near as good as this recipe. This will be my go to recipe. Hopefully whatever they did will be fixed by the next time we go.
