I literally searched pepperoni and green beans today so I could clear the fridge of both, and was shocked to find this recipe! We kind of tweaked the process; sauteed the pepperoni first then added the green beans to the pepperoni oil in the pan, and added tomato paste and cup or more of water. Simmered with cover on. Added some vinegar at the end and served with parmesan/pecorino mix. It wasn't too weird but anything to mask the green beans is good!

Im 58 and have been eating this since I was a small boy. It has to be an Italian thing.

Make that another Italian family that makes it! My Grandma from Puglia, Foggia, made it frequently. I just finished a bowl that I made. She sometimes added potatoes. Now that was the best!

Believe it or not, my (very Italian) grandmother also made this dish! Same exact thing. I, too, have never met anyone else familiar with it! But I've been thinking about it lately, and I think it's time I whip up a batch and introduce my husband to this weirdly delicious (or deliciously weird?) concoction! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone! LOL
