Grandma's Green Beans in Tomato Sauce is a rich tomato sauce similiar to just a stew with any kind of green beans and usually pole beans when we had them.
We had this summer meal growing up as my dad always grew pole beans in our yard but any green beans can be used frozen canned or fresh.
Although money was tight back in the 1960s when Grandma made this meal occassionally we would be lucky to have some cubed pork or chicken added to the pot.
W,e made the basic recipe with just pole beans and fresh tomatoes with herbs today, however there are also many additions you can add to feed a large family.
The best part about this easy recipe, is dunking fresh Homemade Bread into the sauce, it's a bowl of pure delicious Italian comfort food.
During the holiday sprinkling, the top with dried cranberries gives this a green and red festive look and also adds a little sweetness!
For me using pole beans is a treat when I can find them and I am always appreciative when someone that still grows them sends me some this is the first recipe that I will make with them.
