Cracker Barrel Green Beans Recipe
With just a few simple ingredients like bacon, onion, sugar, and canned green beans, you can enjoy a dish that brings back memories of the famous restaurant. My favorite part of this recipe is the way the bacon flavor infuses the beans, making them tender and delicious. An important tip is to let the green beans simmer for a full 45 minutes to get that perfect, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Don’t rush this step! Try adding your touch with fresh green beans or even a hint of garlic for extra flavor.
