My mom introduced this recipe to me and I always loved it. Over the years I have adapted it somewhat to make it just how we like it. It is especially good made with home bottled tomatoes, but I have had good results with store tomatoes at times when I was out or didn’t want to share my home bottled treasures with a large group. ;) I have made it in the Instant pot as well (30 min on high, release pressure, add green beans and pressurize for an additional 1 minute). Usually, I use the slow cooker so I can fix it in the morning and forget it until I put the green beans in about 30 minutes before we want to eat.
I like to eat it with parmesan cheese cut into chunks with a side of sourdough bread.
