recipe reviews for:

Country Style Green Beans with Red Potatoes

“These green beans and potatoes are a spectacular dish. I have been making them for years in large quantities for special events at my church. The smoked turkey tails make an excellent broth that is seasoned beyond words. Let the meat cook until it falls off the bone for the ultimate flavor, at least 2 hours.”

In our house, we call these hillbilly green beans. Only we use vegetarian bakon bits to give it that smoky salty taste. It cooks down rapidly and the kids finish the entire pot they love it so much.

Excellent. I think next time I will make some cornbread and wild rice. Seems like a dish that would make a great side in the holidays. Thanks

Be sure to use SMOKED turkey -- that's what gives it the flavor -- otherwise, it will be bland.

I have also served this recipe for years, except I use fresh or frozen green beans (2 bags) and 1 pound of skinless smoked sausage cut into coins. Add water or broth and put all ingredients in the pot at once and cook until the beans are tender. Try it sometime. It's less greasy than ham hocks, but oh so good! And even better warmed up the next day!

YUMMY! The only thing I changed was I used bacon ends and pieces to flavor the stock, then cut the pieces up and put them back in with the green beans and potatoes at the end OH AND I used fresh green beans instead of canned so I had to adjust the time. AWESOME!
