This is a copycat recipe of the green beans at Cracker Barrel.

If any of you have eaten there, this might sound familiar.

Cracker Barrel Green Beans (Recipe Lion)

1/4 pound sliced bacon

3 (14 1/2 ounce) cans whole green beans, with liquid

1/4 yellow onion

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 tablespoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until lightly brown but not crisp.

When bacon has browned, add green beans. Add salt, sugar and pepper and mix well. Place onion on top of green beans.

Cover saucepan with a lid and bring to a light boil.

Turn heat down to low and simmer beans for 45 minutes.

Thanks Jasdip, for starting this for me. I was babysitting my GK's in Stratford. Carrot and Cranberry Salad with Fresh Ginger Dressing yield: Makes 8 servings The bright flavors are a nice counterpoint to rich foods. Ingredients Â 7 large green onions Â 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar Â 2 level tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger Â 4 cups coarsely grated peeled carrots Â 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries Preparation Cut tops off onions. Cut tops lengthwise into thin strips; cut strips into 2-inch pieces. Chop half of onion bottoms. Place remaining bottoms in blender; add vinegar and ginger. Puree, occasionally scraping down sides of blender jar. Strain puree into measuring cup, pressing enough solids through to yield 1/2 cup dressing; season with pepper.

On my To Try List: Shrimp Pasta with Creamy Chipotle Sauce (from Modern Comfort Food Blog) Ingredients 8 ounces dried pasta (linguine, fettuccine, etc.) 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 small onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced 1 small bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced 4-5 small fresh plum tomatoes (or 10 cherry tomatoes), stem ends and seeds removed, sliced 1 or more canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1 pound peeled large shrimp 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 1/2 cups half-and-half, light cream, or evaporated milk 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro Salt and pepper, to taste (Optional) 1/4 cup grated cotija or parmesan cheese Preparation Boil the pasta in a large sauce pan until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large frying pan on medium heat and, stirring occasionally, sautÃ¯Â¿Â½ the onions for 2 minutes or until wilted. Stir in the garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cumin. SautÃ¯Â¿Â½ for an additional 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the chipotle(s), shrimps, lemon juice, and half-and-half (or cream or evaporated milk). Simmer until the shrimps are just cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes, depending on the size of shrimps used. Stir in the cilantro. Taste and correct the seasoning by adding salt, pepper, and, if needed, additional chipotles to suit your taste. Return the pasta to the sauce pan in which it was cooked, sprinkle with the grated cheese, if used, and pour the shrimp sauce over it. Toss until well blended and transfer to a serving dish. Serves 4 as a main course.

Friend gave me a sampling of these in my Christmas goodies bag and my son went wild over them. She didn't use cake mix in hers, but I think will work.

SALTED PEANUT CHEWS

1 pkg. Pillsbury Plus Yellow cake mix
1/3 c. butter, softened
1 egg
3 c. miniature marshmallows

TOPPING:

2/3 c. corn syrup
1/4 c. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
12 oz. pkg. (2 c.) peanut butter chips

RICE KRISPIES:

2 c. Rice Krispies cereal
2 c. salted peanuts

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine all base ingredients except marshmallows at low speed until crumbly. Press in bottom of ungreased 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with marshmallows. Return to oven 1 to 2 minutes or until marshmallows just begin to puff. Cool while preparing topping.
In large saucepan, heat corn syrup, butter, vanilla and chips just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in cereal and nuts. Immediately spoon warm topping over marshmallows, spread to cover. Chill. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container. Makes 36 bars.

Salted Peanut Chews--reminiscent of a favorite candy bar.

Jasdip, that is pretty much the way I always fix our green beans. I like a long simmer on my beans till there is very little liquid left.

Sue, are you talking fresh beans? Since these are canned, I thought that was a long cooking process. But I may be wrong....heck it won't be the first time...nor the last!!!!
I sure like the sound of the bacon in it.

I was wondering about the long cooking time for canned, or already cooked green beans, Would they get mushy?

Fresh or canned, that way the onion and bacon flavor seem to really get into the green beans. I usually fry my bacon first then add the onion and sugar and cook a bit and then add the green beans. I love green beans cooked that way and only that way.

The only canned green beans we like are the French style with the pimento in.

I never buy fresh green beans because we think they're tasteless. When we have dinner at Mom's, she always serves fresh green beans and the little mini fake baby carrots. They are both tasteless IMO. So I never buy green beans because we know we'll get it there whenever we go over.

BUT it would work in this recipe, I'm convinced!
