Simple and Delicious Green Beans Recipe

             

    This is a really quick and delicious way to cook green beans.  My youngest son who is autistic doesn’t really care for green beans but if I cook them this way, he loves them.  He said just plain green beans are boring but these have so much flavor.  

 

•  2 (15 oz.) cans of green beans or 2 lbs. of fresh green beans
• 1/2 c. chicken broth
• 1/4 c. cooked bacon pieces
  
• 1 packet of ranch dressing mix (or use my homemade ranch)
• 1 tsp. butter
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. pepper

    Combine all the ingredients in a large sauce pan.  Heat over medium heat for 15 minutes.  Serve and enjoy!

Homemade Brown Gravy Dry Mix

I am sure about everyone has seen packets of brown gravy dry mix at the store.  Today I am showing you how to make your own.  It is easy to do and very economical also.  On top of that, it tastes so much better too.

 

• • ¾ c. all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 3 T. beef bouillon granules
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder

     Mix up all ingredients and store in a Ziploc baggie or small canning jar until ready to use.  Can be stored up to 6 months.

        To make gravy, measure out 3 tablespoons of the mix and place into a small saucepan.  Whisk in 1 ½ cups of water and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking often.  Bring to a boil and then simmer 1 minute to allow the gravy to thicken.

       Prepared, this gravy will serve 4 and will have about 15 carbs per serving. 

   

  
  
          Serve over some homemade mashed potatoes or homemade slice of bread.
