I have made this twice but don't understand why the carb count is so high? I would think it would be less.
Gerrie Black
Delicious, I reduced the amount of bacon due to a sodium (salt) reduced diet. Added a can 15oz can of fire roasted tonatoes. When it was done cooking I served it over cooked rice. Great main dish.

My mother-in-law used to cook italian green beans with brown sugar and baby lima beans and tomatoes. That was my favorite side. Never got her recipe but she loved it since she could keep everything on hand to serve if unexpected people came to supper. This recipe sounds good but it would be wonderful if you knew anything about a dish similar to hers.

I had a friend many years ago who made these green beans and then added sour cream to them. Are you familiar with that recipe? These are delicious as written by you. But those made by her takes me back to my younger days. I'm just afraid of getting it wrong.
