Normally, people use water to cook their green beans, but why? Why not use Swanson Chicken Broth instead? The next time you want green beans, just add them to your slow cooker and then pour in about a cup of Swanson Chicken Broth with about a ¼ cup of bacon grease. Cook on low all day and you'll have the best green beans ever.
