Can't Beat Garden Green Beans Y'all, CVC's Southern Cooking Like Mama did! (2024)

I cook my garden fresh green beans with a ham bone & cottage ham & potatoes & one whole sweet onion. Ham & green beans & tomatoes fresh from garden, fantastic summer meal.

My step dad is a diabetic he doesn't eat bread, biscuits, potatoes, rice etc because it causes his sugars to go up too much.

Anyone that says "they will just be nice and greasy" knows whats good! 😂😍❤
Love garden green beans, yum!

Love fresh green beans . 👩🏻‍🦳💟

Hello from Lexington, North Carolina!❤ Momma always put sugar in her beans! I am a diabetic but Heavens to Betsy...I'm not gonna get all the sugar in a serving!😊 Since I learned from you how to cook canned green beans I'm a happy camper!😂 You've got me wanting to get my wok out and use it. You're wonderful Tammy, I sure hope you feel the love from all of us😍❤

Love watching you Tammy I wish we were neighbors. I also have a heart for the elderly. You are a great cook and an amazing lady! I’ve made several of your recipes have Vol 1. & 2 cookbooks 💜

Funny about the regional differences in green beans. I come from a pocket of the world that only grew and ate a bean variety called "white half-runner" They are a string bean, get tough quickly, and make good shellie beans. The green bean just tastes vaguely meat like. I always thought it was the pork in the pot, but now I think it is just the variety of bean. I came to expect and then need them. Then I found myself unable to grow them. I didn't have the skill I thought I had learned. Italian flat beans are the closest I have found to them, and am very glad I found them. Love to see you cooking them, it somehow fills a need for beans all by itself. lol. Love your videos.

I enjoy your videos especially the live ones. You remind me of the times when I was growing up in the country. Love the way you cook.

I've been making green beans the Tammy way..., i cannot eat them any other way now. So delish!
Thanks Tammy😀

I put sugar in my collards makes them very good and stock

You had me till the sugar. Oh well I'll just leave it out. Just can't abide savory food with sugar added. You still got a thumbs up.

I fixed mygreen beans this morning. I also use some sugar, onions, bacon, salt and pepper and water. Cook slowly, when done I like to put a can of biscuits on top and stem them. My Mother fixed them that way and I am 85.

You are the best cook ever, I fixed green beans but add fried fresh corn to them I also fixed your meatloaf recipe with crackers in it my son and I love it instead of oats and your stewed potatoes for dinner tonight thanks for your recipes.

T, I guess I have been cooking green beans wrong all these years. One of my garden friends had some Crockett green beans he wanted me to try and I made them your way. They were delicious. I just ordered some seeds and I am going to grow them in the spring. You learn something new no matter what age. 💕

My mom and her momma made beans like that. I swear I gain weight just by watching you. You and hubby are wonderful!

Love fresh green beans straight from the garden.... never put sugar in them though, but as always, it always depends upon tastes etc... Everything else is the same way and it's delish! My grandma was a diabetic (later in life), so that might be why she really didn't use the sugar, plus she used a little sweet butter (mostly) so that could be it too LOL Who knows, I wish I still had her here to ask and learn more from. She taught me SO much so I love that you do these vids for you girls. Awesome memories and a great way for them to learn and well as everyone else, including me!... Hugs Tammy! ----- Rebecca

I just made the “Tammy” green beans and I cannot believe how delicious they are with a bit of sugar....never would I have thought they would have turned out so wonderful!!! Thank you.....❤️😋😋😋

My Mother never put sugar in her green beans, but I'm going to try it. Looks good. Love y'all.

My grandma, my dad and I have always put a little sugar in any type of beans.

My grandmother always put a little sugar in her green beans.......now I know why. 😉

I have wonderful memories of snapping beans with my Grandmama.

Always put fat back in my half runner green beans

I love green beans! You always make your look so delicious, even the fresh ones! I'm going to have to give this recipe a try. Blessings always to you, Chris and the girls. May God keep them safe and out of harm's way. Love y'all

Love fresh green beans out of the garden! Delicious!

Hi Tammy, yes this sure does look yummy!! You certainly are a great cook. Thank you so much for all your dedication and recipes
Excellent!!!! Love your videos...

looks good! lol, nobody cooks them suckers right anymore.

Am I the only one who doesn't snap my green beans? I only take off the ends. I love them long like that.

I know I mentioned this before but your viewers might enjoyed roasted fresh green beans as another option (I like yours, too). I had never made them until I got one of those Every Plate meal kits and they were so good! You take whole fresh green beans and pinch off the ends. Wash and dry the beans. Put them on a large sheet pan with a drizzle of oil, a sprinkle of kosher salt and some freshly ground pepper. Roast on an upper rack of the oven preheated to 425 F for 12-15 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy around the edges. The natural sugars come out and they are yummy.

Well these green beans look great! How can you buy some without the string? Are those like Blue Lakes you need to get at a farmers market? Other than the grocery store?

Yes cornbread😁

My mother always put a little vinegar and sugar in her beans and so do I. Everyone loves them.

Looks delicious. There's nothing like fresh green beans. Yum

I just love love fresh green beans. Where I'm from, we use to call them sna beans. Lolol. My favorite. 💜💜💜✌✌😊 I told my hubby I'm going to get fresh snap beans tomorrow. 😉

Thank you for your delicious recipes😋 I've been saving them in my playlist

I cook canned green beans like you do. I questioned you on your meal video that had these, about how long it takes..thanks for your answer btw. I have never used beef broth like this, but I have used bacon fat. Gonna try this way!! I could eat that whole pan..lol

I have made these and they are the best!!!

Love green beans. Your way is wonderful Thank You

This is the only way I'll eat green beans....

I was skeptical but I’ve made these several times and they are delicious ❤️

Looks so good! Thank you Tammy!

I put turkey bacon grease and saute onions. Baby taters. makes a whole meal!

Unlock an account grain dance but I'm not really crazy about pole things I don't like to text her but I will do it my mother used to do the pole things with new potatoes and no one could cook quite as well as she did what time I was around her I remember that I still have memories of those days

Cool, now I know what to do with fresh green beans. I like the pan you cooked them in too. Is it that included in your Amazon link by any chance.

i made your tomato pie and grannys green beans for supper tonight. I'm eating while I watch this video. good ole cookin... I've wondered if you make fresh green beans the same way.. now I know..

❤️

Looks delicious. Thank you for sharing 😊

I lived on 180 Acre Farm now we working the sales all the time as I mentioned I was raised in an orphanage with Costa 200 kids now we had to work in the fields if we got hungry we ate raw green beans we ate raw corn we would eat tomatoes we would burst a watermelon like the sun has burst it we did not go hungry but when I got 11 years old I got smart and I wanted kitchen detail that's how I learn how to cook cuz I asked to be in the kitchen and to help knows best thing that ever happened to me that's how I learned to cook and my children's father was a chef in the Army and so I was bound to did they send cook what are your thoughts on that you think

Thanks sweet Tammy♡♡♡ I Love fresh green beans. I hope you are enjoying your evening♡♡♡ We Love y'all so very much ♡♡♡ Thanks for sharing your time with us♡♡♡ GOD BLESS Y'ALL ♡♡♡

Those look so delicious!!! My Momma always put sugar in most of her v

I cook mine with meat and potatoes. But going to try this with my other beans .what kinda beans are yours ?

👍😊

Love you recipe! Making it tonight!

Green beans looked good!

Greetings to Tammy and Family...Thank you for the informative cooking tutorials! Best Wishes and Blessings! ❤

Why do you put “ sugar” in green beans,? I never heard of such a thing, must be a southern thing. ♥️🌸🌸🌸

Love your green beans

Sent my order Tammy for your 3 cookbook today. I can’t wait to get it. Those beans sure look good.❤️

Can you use Splenda instead of sugar?

Mmmmmmmmmm

Hey Tammy, it's Joyce from Monroe ga. I don't know if anyone has ever asked so I wil....will.... do you turn your cornbread and biscuits upside down after it cooks? I figure so it stops cooking but I am curious. I know you don't care but my mom would put the cornbread on the cutting board and spread butter over the top to seep in before we ate. Gosh oh so good. You really do bring back some good memories. Thanks for teaching and sharing. Love ya!

Tammy I wanted to tell you I made your mustard fried chicken in my air fryer. It was Awesome

Your recipe in the end of description after green beans are cooked says take to sink and add 2 c water ???

I always put sugar in my green beans I once learned that you should always add at least a pinch of sugar to vegetables that you cook. It brings out a flavor. Glad you did . It does make a difference. Looks delicious

I'm going to speak honestly and this is not to put anyone down and I do not want anyone to take this personally at all I think that Tammy is is just as good if not better than any chef that I have seen and she doesn't claim to be a chef but she is better than they are I know that she's better than Rachael Ray she's better than Paula Deen that one time Paula Deen was very good but Paula Deen is like me she's going up there in age and we can't do it anymore there's days and weeks that I don't do anything and then there's days that I cook all day long for the week and I enjoy it but when I'm down I'm down and when I'm up I'm up and I just praise God for my good days and I I'm concerned about Paula about her health I'm not going to go into great detail cuz I certainly not here to make anyone feel bad that's not my intent at all and maybe I shouldn't have said it at all but I'm I say what's on my mind that's what I do but damn you're just a good cook and and I'm going to say it and I'm not sorry that I did and if I hurt anyone's feelings I'm so sorry that was not my intent at all

Yum. Minus sugar. You sure are a good cook Tammy. Tfs
