Recipe View Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours, or until the green beans are exceptionally tender. Check the water level periodically, adding more as needed to prevent the beans from drying out. (3-4 hours)

Recipe View Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The broth should be rich and flavorful. Serve hot.

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.
