My Nana made this all the time; especially during the spring when the fresh string beans were plentiful (frozen work just as well- just do NOT use canned). I actually crave this concoction from time to time. It's simple, warm and filling. I use lean ham for this to cut down on unnecessary fat. Thanx for posting!
