Yum! This is one of my favorite ways to have green beans. Sometimes I throw in a few tiny new potatoes, then all you need is a steak and some garden fresh tomatoes and dinner is done!
Ok, These are just totally the green beans I grew up with! I haven't had them in years and years! Time to revisit my childhood with this dish!! Thanks for sharing!!
