Slow-Cooked Green Beans

1. 1

   Assemble all the ingredients.

2. 2

   Set a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir the bacon in the hot pan until nearly crisp, about 6 minutes. Add the onion; cook until the browned bits on the bottom dissolve in the onion's juices and the onion turns soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and the tomato sauce. Cook until the garlic softens, about 1 more minute.

3. 3

   Put the green beans in a skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Increase the heat to high, add the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the beans, and bring to a simmer. The beans will start to soften. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add more broth or water if the mixture looks dry.

4. 4

   Adjust the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Cook until the beans are soft and tender, about 30 more minutes. Transfer the beans and some of the pan juices to a deep serving platter.

5. 5

   Serve and enjoy.
