Ingredients:

Pole Beans

Salt

Bacon

Pole beans:  Rinse pole beans and break the stem off of one side while pulling anystrings.  Then do the same thing to the other side (this helps to get any strings) and finally break in 1/2.  Boil salted water and about 6 strips of bacon (I use GWALTNEY center cut, it has less fat) and add pole beans.  You want the water to be about 3 inches or so.  Boil on high for about 5 minutes, then lower, cover and let cook until soft.  Taste water every now and then, add more if needed and also more salt if needed.  I always double the amount because pole beans freeze great!!  Remember to label.
