Green Beans And Beef

---

My mother came up with this savory dish in the early 1950s when the budget was tight, but there were a lot of green beans in the garden. when times were really tough, she increased the beans and decreased the beef. since then, the whole family looks forward to green bean season, because this is just plain old good food. serve with garlic bread or homemade biscuits.
