First of all let me apologize for my bad pictures. LOL! Some nights my family just doesn’t want to wait for me to take pictures before they can eat and this was one of those nights.

I love to serve fish, but I don’t do it as often as I should. I know that it’s really good for you and that you should serve it at least a couple of times a week, but for some reason it rarely makes it to my weekly menu. I guess I’m going to have to make a conscience effort to add it.

I told you my family was in a hurry to eat so I neglected to take pictures of the fish and rice. However, I was able to get pictures of the process of making these yummy southern style green beans. Boy was I out of it when I did this meal!

Before moving to the south I rarely used bacon, except for breakfast. Here they seem to use bacon in EVERYTHING, like these green beans. I have to say I was a little skeptical the first time I tried them, but once I did there was no going back and my waistline proves it.

All you have to do is cut up the bacon into little pieces and fry.

Once the bacon is fully cooked you add a can of drained, green beans and fry them in the bacon grease. The green beans soak up that grease and add an amazing flavor to them.

That’s about all there is to this meals, it easy and affordable and your family will walk away from the table satisfied. If they even make it to the table because they are in such a hurry to eat.
