I made this recipe exactly as it is stated and the amount of black pepper is extremely high. None of our 10 guests liked it with so much pepper. Otherwise it was good.

This was a tasty version of southern green beans. However, the vinegar was a little potent in it and I would cut back on it in the future.

These taste just like old fashioned country style green beans. We loved 'em. 4 pounds of beans filled my crockpot to the brim and served 15 with some leftovers--but then, we had a large collection of other dishes to choose from too. I made mine with bacon rather than a hamhock. Just before serving, I picked out the slimy pieces of bacon fat which had slow cooked. I fried a few strips of bacon, crumbled them and added the crumbles and fat to the beans. This boosted the flavor considerably.

Delicious. Had no ham hock so I used half juice from the ham I was cooking and half water and added three slices of uncooked thick sliced bacon. Local fresh beans looked bad so I used frozen and they came out just fine. Very tasty.

Very tasty! I've been looking for a good recipe for green beans and this is it. I've tried them with canned and fresh and both were good.

These are really good and really easy. You can do them in the crockpot or stovetop. I have also used bacon or a chopped, smoked turkey leg in lieu of the hamhock. I no longer used canned green beans. Much like my Nanny used to make. Good memories!!!

Served with mashed spuds and pork ribs, these southern style beans were a hit! I cooked them only two hours, and they were flavorful and tender.

I grew up in the South and this is the way my grandmother always made green beans. This recipe brought back lots of memories! A five star plus recipe!!
