If you don’t pack them in tightly you will wind up with more water than beans.
#Canned green bean recipes with bacon full#
Get your preheated jars out and STUFF THOSE JARS FULL of the bean/bacon mix. Drain the fat and then add to the beans that are already in the pot. Place the beans into a large bowl or stock pot.įor the bacon, I cut the strips into 1 inch or so pieces, put into a frying pan, add diced onions and the garlic and fry the bacon until its just done/cooked. Remember, you are cooking them when you pressure cook them and then cooking again after opening. Raw packing is the best method for green beans so they don’t overcook. We DO NOT parboil them because that causes the beans to become mushy after canning.
The beans should be cut into about 1 inch lengths. Typically VaCreepinOutdoors will cut the beans up as I fry up the bacon/onion/garlic mixture. Next, we prep the beans and bacon/onions/garlic. I put 3 inches in and bring to a boil while prepping the beans and bacon mix. Put the jars onto a cookie sheet and put into the oven while prepping the beans and bacon mixture. Often I will just put the lids and rings into a pot of water, bring to a boil for just a minute or two and then turn down to barely warm just to keep the water warm enough that I can put a finger into the water without hurting myself.Ī trick I learned with the jars…heat the oven to 250 degrees to keep them ‘hot/warm’. No boiling necessary to get the gummy going (in fact, keeping them simmering will degrade the gummy part causing lid failure). With the new lids available now, all you need to do is wash them. Getting your canning supplies ready to go as usual. Minced Garlic (again, for flavor, add to taste)īacon (I use 1lb per 3 lbs of green beans, use as little or as much as you wish) I am now 42 🙂 and they were still delicious!!!

My family got some of them and some were pressure canned green beans with bacon. One legacy she left was a TON of canned fruits and veggies. My grandmother died when I was 8 years old. With BACON! Yes, you can safely can green beans with bacon. So how can you preserve them? Canning and freezing are our favorite ways.Ĭanning fresh green beans is easy…but VaCreepinOutdoors and myself, we love to can them like our grandmothers did. Green beans…these are so easy to grow and are often prolific producers.
