Step 1

Rinse beans in a colander, then wrap up in a clean dish towel to dry.

Step 2

Cook bacon pieces (4 slices) in a large saucepan until crisp. Add green beans (2 pounds) to the pan and continue to cook on medium heat, tossing beans well to coat in bacon dripping, until beans turn bright green about 3 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth then the salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

Step 3

Simmer on low, covered with the lid cracked just a bit, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 1 hour. Adjust seasoning. Remove to serving platter with a slotted spoon. Top with a splash or so of the cooking liquid and serve.
