String beans and green beans are actually one and the same! The “string” in the title refers to the string that used to have to be removed from every bean before cooking (similar to snap peas). If you prefer a crunchy green bean, just lower the cooking time until you get the texture you prefer. If you boil them to try and cook them faster, they’ll get mushy. It’s best to simmer them for 1 to 2 hours. They need all of that time to really absorb the flavor and get melt in your mouth tender. Southern style green beans shouldn’t have any crunch to them, so they take a long time to cook (this recipe isn’t quick, but it is definitely worth it!).

Alternatively, if you’re vegetarian, you can make this recipe without bacon and just use a couple of Tablespoons of olive oil to saute the onion.
