Easy Southern Green Beans Without Meat Recipe

I grew up snapping green beans on my Big Mama’s porch along with my sisters. That period of my life holds so many sweet, simple memories. That is why I’m sharing how to cook southern green beans without meat.

I’m all grown up with a family of my own now. Although green beans are not my favorite vegetable, my husband and both sons eat them without complaining so I prepare them practically every week.

I learned my current favorite way to prepare the beans from the Camp Orenda camp director, David. I liked the way that he prepared the string beans for us over the campfire one night. (Since we had a personal cook, I guess that it was more of a “glamping” trip than a traditional camping experience!)

Anyway, I noted what he included in the dish, added a pinch of red chili flakes for some heat and recreated the recipe at home. It’s both easy and tasty…the perfect combination!
