Ingredients
- 2 lbs green beans
- 1 12 cups water
- 2 beef bouillon cubes (Knorr brand preferred. Refer to Note # 2)
- 14 teaspoon all purpose adobo seasoning (use Goya brand or use regular salt. Refer NOTE #1 below)
- salt (Refer to NOTE # 1 below)
- 2 12 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons bacon fat (solid, not liquefied)
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Wash green beans throughout and drain.
- Snip stem edge of each green bean and place in a 7 x 14" casserole dish (such as pyrex).
- In a small saucepan, add water, beef bouillons, adobo seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper.
- Let come to a rapid boil until bouillons are fully dissolved.
- Mix to distribute all seasonings.
- Pour seasoned water evenly over beans.
- Dot with bacon fat.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil being careful not to leave any gaps so that steam can't escape.
- Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes or until tender.
- To serve, remove hot beans from pyrex with tongs.
- (The seasoned water isn't meant to serve with the beans).
- NOTE # 1: The seasoned water is meant to be on the salty side, therefore taste the water.
- It should be salty like water from the sea.
- I've made this recipe so many times and don't measure the salt, therefore I don't have an exact amount so please use your best judgement.
- Once they are cooked with the beans the beans won't absorb the full amount of salt and they won't be as salty as you think.
- NOTE # 2: The Knorr brand bouillons are larger (double the size) than most other bouillon brands.
- Therefore, you may need to increase the amount of bouillons if using the smaller version.
- On a personal level, I find that the Knorr brand boosts the flavor of dishes better than most other brands.
