Green Beans & Sausage 
 
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.  |

    Preparation Notes | 
	 
  
	| 1/2 - 1 lb | 
	Bacon - cut 
	into one inch pieces | 
	
    -   Fry bacon to very crisp
 
    -   Add onion and brown
 
    -   Add smoked sausage slices 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.
 
    -  Add back in bacon, onion and sausage
 
    -  Then add beans
 
	-  Salt and pepper to taste
 
	-  Cover and allow to cook through - time is not the 
	issue here as the flavors will come together
