In reply to Lori Weyer. I find them in the pork section at our local grocery store. Really any grocery store should have it in the meat department.

Have never seen SMOKED PORK JOWL or PORK NECK at a grocery store or butcher shop (never looked either). Where would I find these?? My mom would use smoked ham hocks in split pea soup and bean soup, so I know about that.

l remember the chore of snapping green beans..started VERY early in a.m, with my mom picking buckets of beans from our HUGE garden..she had spread newspapers on floor, placed a #3 tub in center w/my sister’s chairs + he’s to join us later. She washed, cooked and placed in quarts to seal & pressure cook. yum

Hi I love reading your thoughts and recipes. I would like to make the Southern Green Beans in a crockpot for Thanksgiving dinner. I am not sure if Wegmans or Tops in Upstate NY carries smoked pork jowl. I will look into it but meanwhile should I use thick bacon if I can’t find the pork jowl?

BTW, you, Big Bear and the family have a blessed Thanksgiving!!

In reply to Gina Kennell. I love using a ham hock in green beans! I use those and hog jowl in my slow cooker green beans!

My grandma taught me how to cook beans very early in life. We always used a smoked ham hock, and boy that tastes real great. Everything is pretty much the same. Can’t wait to have my beans ripe and ready…

In reply to Nancy. Hey! I haven't added sugar to them before but maybe we will give that a try soon!

Have you ever tried adding a little white or brown sugar to it? The kids seem to like it better that way. I’m going to try this for Thanksgiving this year, as I’m pretty much over green bean casserole! LOL
