- Garlic
- 0.5 cup Flour
- Chicken broth

## Instructions

1. Start by snapping off both ends of the green beans and then splitting them in half. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
2. Chop up the Kielbasa sausage, slicing it on a bias.
3. Dice the bacon.
4. Place a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced bacon into the cold pan to allow more fat to render out.
5. Cook the bacon until crispy, then remove it from the pot, leaving the rendered fat.
6. Add the chopped Kielbasa sausage to the pot with the bacon fat and cook until nicely browned.
7. Remove the browned sausage and add it to the bowl with the cooked bacon.
8. Chop the onion and then add it to the pot with the remaining fat.
9. After a couple of minutes, add garlic to the pot.
10. Add about a quarter to a half cup of flour to the pot to build a roux, and mix well.
11. After about a minute or two, add chicken broth to the roux, a little at a time, mixing continuously until a gravy forms.
12. Once the mixture starts to boil, add the green beans to the pot.
13. Add more chicken broth to the pot to ensure the green beans are submerged.
14. Season with City Cajun Seasoning and Nature's Seasoning, then mix well.
15. Cover the pot and let the green beans cook long and slow, checking and stirring about every 20 minutes.
16. Peel and dice the potatoes, then rinse them.
17. When the green beans start to get tender, add the diced potatoes to the pot.
18. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender and start to break up.
19. Add the cooked bacon and sausage back into the pot with the green beans and potatoes.
20. Serve the smothered green beans and enjoy.
