Green beans cooked with russet potatoes and turkey and seasoned with garlic.
A few months ago my southern green beans, bacon, and potatoes went viral on Facebook. There’s no wonder why- People LOVE easy delicious meals, especially when they are affordable. My southern green bean recipes are always super easy to make, and I always use budget friendly ingredients when it comes to my green bean dishes. Although many people loved my original southern green beans, bacon, and potato video, I had a couple of people ask if the recipe could be made differently.
