Mom’s Green Beans

This is a so-simple-it’s-stupid crowd pleaser to make you the most popular girl at the potluck. Bacon and chicken broth are both very salty, so no extra salt is needed for this recipe. Measurements are loose for this recipe—I prefer more beans and less bacon, but you can use less beans for a heartier dish.
