This was awsome.. I'm pregnant and was too tired to make one night, but the next morning I got up and made it around 9am and it was sooo goooood... Will definately make again!

My 5 yo and myself didn't really care much for this, but my husband really enjoyed it and ate a ton. There was just something in the flavors that didn't mesh well for me. I used frozen green beans, cooked in enough water to have the green bean water the recipe calls for. Other than that I followed the recipe. Thanks anyway, but I probably won't make this again unless my husband requests it.

I wasnt sure I would care for this very much but OK I can admit when I'm wrong, wrong, wrong! These green beans were fabulous! I was skeptical about the sour cream/green bean mix but boy were these a great combination of flavours! I'll make this one again and again. Straight to my veggie cookbook for this one! Made for ZWT4.
