The family liked these beans and my toddler son, who won't eat vegetables, even tried one. I only steamed the beans about 10 minutes so that they still had some crunch. Easy recipe that I'm sure we'll have again.

A wonderful way to prepare fresh beans. In place of the garlic powder, I sliced a couple of garlic cloves and steamed them with the beans. This was served with recipe #228568 and mashed potatoes.

Yellow snap beans were on special and they worked great in this recipe! I didn't have dried basil around but have a nice herb pot on the patio so used fresh basil and fresh garlic, These were wonderful beans, we loved them and will be making them again, thanks for sharing!
