Stovetop Green Beans

Wash beans, remove any bad spots, snap off tips and pull any strings that come up on the sides. Cut or break into 2-inch pieces. Place in deep frying pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until beans are tender (don't overcook beans). Drain any excess water. Add bacon drippings, and salt and pepper to taste.
