    Fried Green Beans with Horseradish Sauce

    Leave it to a Southerner to take a healthy green vegetable and deep fat fry that sucker! While this fried green bean recipe won’t count as eating your veggies, it makes a delicious appetizer.

    I should call this fried green bean recipe “hacked green beans” because of all the shortcuts I took.

    Example 1 – I don’t keep buttermilk in the house. Along with disinterest in college football and bafflement over monogram t-shirt pockets, it’s one of several things that makes me a bad Southerner.

    Since napping children prevented me from running to the store for buttermilk, I mixed sour cream and water together for a sort of “sour cream wash.” It worked beautifully. I may never buy buttermilk again.

    If you're looking for easy appetizers for a party, look no further. These fried green beans with horseradish dipping sauce will be a hit at your next dinner party!
    Watered down sour cream. Who knew?

    Example 2 – I really hate dragging out the deep fryer or the dutch oven (told you I was a bad Southerner.)

    I fried these green beans in an iron skillet instead with great results. Maybe I should hack my way through the kitchen more often.
