Southern-Style Green Beans

Remove strings from green beans, then break beans into bite-sized pieces. Wash beans and place in 2-quart pan. Add water, oil, bouillon cubes, and onion. Bring to a simmer.

Cove and cook for 30 minutes or until beans are tender when pierced with a fork; stir periodically. Add salt, stir, and continue cooking an additional 60 minutes most of the liquid should evaporate, and the beans should be very tender.
