Southern Green Beans
I have fond memories of picking and cleaning green beans and peas fresh from the garden along side my grandma. Both of my grandmas were cooks so I learned early on how to cook and loved being in the kitchen. This recipe is simple, but takes a bit of time. Trust me it is well worth the wait! These beans are traditional southern food, with a twist for flair of flavor. I hope you enjoy.

Notes
If you are putting into a serving dish I like to drain some of the broth out. The Cajun seasoning is not required to make this dish delicious, but I love the added spice. We lived in the south for many years and I just adore Cajun food 🙂
