I’ve been doing these A LA Ozuna style the last couple of times I have made them. My in-laws make their beans similarly to these. I have stumbled onto their secret.
Ingredients:
Fresh green beans (however many your family eats…I usually do a couple handfuls for me and my husband. The boys eat carrots)
1/4 c. Onion (a couple thinly sliced rings chopped up)
2 Tbsp. Bacon Grease (you could cook some bacon or just use the grease that you have saved from cooking bacon, either way it’s yummy)
1 Tomato diced
mushrooms (1/2 basket chopped)
salt
pepper
Directions:
Heat pan to medium high. Add bacon grease, onion, and chopped green beans. Salt to taste. Cover. Let cook for a bit, stirring occasionally. After green beans and onion have cooked down a little (become a little soft), add mushrooms and tomato. Salt again. Pepper. Cover. When beans are cooked but still have a bite to them, and when tomato has cooked down, they are done.
Check the seasoning…add more salt/pepper if needed.

We will be making these green beans on saturday night! They sound delicious!!!
You can probably also cut down on the bacon grease. My in-laws just cook up a couple slices of bacon to get that grease and cook the beans in with the bacon and onions. You get all the bacon flavor that way with perhaps a little less bacon fat. I looked up the calorie content (not sure about the other stuff in it such as carbs), and a tbsp of bacon fat is the same as 1 tbsp cooking oil. I figured I have lots of bacon fat because we save it in the fridge in a container.
