Country Style Green beans with Ham
by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
This is one of the many ways I enjoy making simple green beans. They are a bit old-fashioned, but the long simmer time imbues them with a lot of flavor. As a side dish, it is typical of Southern cooking and one many people enjoyed growing up or having Sunday Dinner at their grandmother’s table.
It is perfect for those types of dinners with mashed potatoes and a main dish of roast chicken or meat loaf or even roast beef. We also like to have it with bbq when we aren’t doing our usual “mess o’ greens” (Collard Greens). I imagine it will always be a favorite.
I hope you like it and that it brings back wonderful memories for you. Let me know!

I love green beans and now that my oldest son is eating ham I think he’s going to love this dish!
Just like we like them around here!
I grew up with these kind of green beans! My great grandmother was from Kentucky and made them every time we visited her and for all holidays. They bring back great memories. I love the smoky flavor that the ham gives the green beans! So YummY!! 🙂
Such a classic combo…I love it!
