They keep cooking down and you keep adding water to keep them from scorching. THEY ARE AWESOME! Last time, I added just a little sugar and they were even better. Chicken broth is the bomb, and it has no fat!

How much chicken broth do you use, Sherri?

I think the last time I made them I used three cans of green beans and two cans of chicken broth (the regular size). I guess you could do these in the crock pot, since they have to cook a long time. I have just always done them on the stove, when I'm going to be home all afternoon.

You can also get the same flavor to the beans by draining & rinsing the canned beans-- replace the liquid with fresh water.. and throw in a chicken bullion cube for every two cans of beans.

I won't cook green beans any other way.... and the longer they simmer slowly, the better they taste.

I WAS a little shocked that you wanted a recipe for veggies of any sort!

I'm anxious to hear what you all think of this dish after you make it.

Oh, and what a great idea - modifying the uppity green beans!!! I've wanted to make them for our church monthly potluck, but sure can't do it for 60-70 people in bundles. Now I can give it a shot. I know they'll be a big hit!!

MARGIE, MARGIE MARGIE!!!!

I made your dish last night..

talk about GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!

I had a slight modification b/c I left the recipe in my purse downstairs and i was already cooking...

but!

I cooked the sausage in very little water over medium heat so they would really "Pop" you know? I took them up just as they started to brown real good and carmalize...that stuff they leave in the pan is so good it's sinful.

Anyway, I put in a WHOLE stick of butter (real kind not that faux mess) Anyway, put in my potatoes I had halved, (some I cut into 3 b/c of their size). I then read your reciepe an realized I'd probably used too much butter....Well, I decided I didnt want to water down the flavor any so I went a head and added my half bag of onion since they would release water...I bypassed the adding water all together....

Well, I let this cook kinda slow so it wouldnt burn and after I added a whole bag of frozen green beans, I added a half stick of the "I cant believe its not butter" since it was gonna stick other wise...

I just let this all cook covered while I made my carrots...

See, I was CRAVING the Uppidey Green beans but the dish already had green beans in them...so I made my carrots a little snotty!

I took a stick of butter in a sauce pan, added garlic and a good size teaspoon of brown sugar - let his cook a while then added two cans of drained carrots to the pot and let it heat throughout and simmer a little...

can you say OH MY GOODNESS??

it was so good I kept complimenting myself and you!!

ROFL!!

Got any more great ideas? This was SO easy to fix

Oh, and for added flavor, I diced two of the pieces of sausage after it was cooked and let it "cook" with the potatoes and onions
