Anybody have a knockoff recipe of Popeye's green beans?

you don't get the red bean and rice? SHAME

I'd imagine you could find just about any copycat recipe you want on Pinterest.

I fry off 2 pieces of bacon and set aside. Drain green beans and pour in bacon grease. Add a little finely chopped onions. Pan fry for a few minutes. Dust with salt and pepper and add some crushed garlic. Cook for a few more minutes then add crumbled up bacon and enough chicken stock to almost cover the beans. Lower heat to simmer and let them go until almost all of the stock has cooked out. Done.
