This is a very simple sausage and green beans recipe that tastes great. Put your beans on early in the morning, and let them cook all day. My grandma, who came from a poor family, handed down this recipe. Goes great with cornbread.

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
4 cups water, or more as needed
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
8 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 pound smoked sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces

Directions

Place green beans in a large saucepan with a lid. Pour water over beans to cover; stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until beans are very tender, 3 to 4 hours; add water throughout cooking as needed to keep moist.
Add potatoes and smoked sausage; cover and simmer until potatoes are very tender and beans and potatoes have absorbed the smoky flavor of sausage, about 2 more hours.
