Amy's Po' Man Green Beans and Sausage Dish

By: A. Smith 
"This is a very simple recipe that tastes great. Put your beans on in early morning and let them cook all day. Handed down by my Grandma who came from a pretty poor family. Goes great with cornbread."

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 potatoes, peeled and quartered

Directions

  1. Place the green beans in a large saucepan with a lid or a slow cooker. Pour water over the beans to cover; stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the beans are very tender, 3 to 4 hours; add water throughout the cooking time as needed to keep moist.
  2. Add the smoked sausage and potatoes; cover and simmer until the potatoes are very tender and the beans and potatoes have absorbed the smoky flavor of the sausage, about 2 more hours.

Green beans turned into mush with the long cooking time--a waste of perfectly good fresh beans.
