For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth or vegetable broth instead of water. Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give the dish a subtle kick. If you prefer your green beans with a bit more bite, reduce the initial simmering time to 2-3 hours. Smoked turkey sausage is a great alternative to pork sausage for a lighter option. Serve with a side of warm cornbread or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
