Render bacon in an iron skillet, reserving the bacon.

Add green beans to the skillet. Add seasonings and enough water to almost cover green beans. Bring to a rolling boil then turn heat down to simmer for 8-10 minutes or until doneness you desire. Remove lid at the end of cooking time and cook down to a very low liquid.

Serve with reserved bacon pieces.

VARIATION: Add some diced country ham which makes this Southern dish even more delectable.
