I steam my green beans in a little covered glass bowl, then drain and add the bacon fat which melts into the green beans. Cover and shake vigorously to distribute the fat yumminess!!! Plate and serve!

According to my wife who really really hates beets, the leaves have the
same flavour. It is just less intense. I can taste the beet flavour in
the leaves, but I do not dislike beets.

Does not matter to me. I like most greens in a salad, but dislike
greens of any sort cooked.

I like spinach, kale, chard etc. wilted. Usually I just throw them
into a pan with a bit of butter (or whatever) and quickly 'cook' them.

I do like creamed spinach and kale though.

While reading it, and before getting to the spinach part, I was just
about to say I use the same for sauteing spinach! It's very good like
that. No sugar though. Definitely, green beans and bacon fat are a
great combination.

I must be in the minority then because I like my sauteed green beans
tender crisp and I can't get that from canned or frozen.

Yes, I will be on the lookout for them. We do have a really nice farmers

looked for them, but will check it out now.

Same as swiss chard. I love beet greens but not readily available.
Chard is the same plant without the beet root. Chard is much easier
to grow, I never had much luck growing beets, grubs tunnel into them
and I don't use insecticides. Fresh beets from market are loaded with
chems... if you buy beet tops soak them at least a half hour in
several changes of water. It's far safer and easier to grow chard,
and there are several types, a very attractive bedding plant... just
keep harvesting the outer leaves and you'll have chard all during its
long growing season, it likes cool weather.

I have to admit my tastes differ and I stopped at the huge (to me)
vinegar load. Nope.

There's always one small prep bowl in the fridge, and at least one in
the freezer.

Essential for sauteed green beans, IMO.

My grandmother made "sweet and sour" vinegar for her dressing. It was
equal parts water, vinegar and sugar. Bring it to a boil, combine
with bacon fat, and pour over the greens to wilt. She used Bib
lettuce, but I'd use spinach in today's world.

All canned goods are cooked (veg fruit meat fish), it's an
unavoidable part of the canning process.

Just curious; when do you eat such a huge amount of green beans?

In fact, to test cook times/temps, live salmonella bacteria (and other
pathogens) are introduced in a series of specially marked cans and
cooked, along with other regular cans of food. Then the marked cans
are tested to make sure all the live pathogens are dead. ALL canned
foods are tested, this way. That is why yer green beans are cooked to
the consistency of mush.

I usta joke, you could poop in a can, run it through the cook, and
safely eat it. I no longer find this amusing. But! ....food fer
thought.

Most definitely, William. I put bacon grease in lots of vegetables -
especially squash and green beans. We use fatback to cook greens and
collards with.
