A delightful twist on the classic German-style green beans, enhanced with a touch of garlic and a hint of smoked paprika.
Prepare the green beans by washing and trimming them.
Using fresh green beans enhances the flavor and texture of the dish.
Add the green beans, bacon drippings, vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, and minced garlic to the crockpot.
Layer the ingredients evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
Cooking on low allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Once the green beans are tender and flavorful, serve them warm as a side dish.
Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a vibrant presentation.
