Great one pot meal that gets better each time it is reheated.
This is a dish that my mother made and I believe her mother made as well. It was often taken to pot luck meals and always made as soon as the first mess of new green beans were picked. Frequently I add new red potatoes (unpeeled) and a bit of garlic.

Servings:
Instructions
- Fry bacon to very crisp
- Add onion and brown

- Remove everything from fat to a paper towel covered plate and set aside
- Add bouillon cubes to fat
- Sprinkle in the flour and brown
- Once flour is browned, begin adding a bit of water or bean juice if using canned green beans to make a gravy. Stir as it thickens and add more water (juice) until you have a nice thin gravy.
