Garlic Haricots Verts Almondine

Submitted by Feeding my Family

"This is a traditional Thanksgiving recipe in our house. It is a healthier alternative to green bean casserole. You can use regular green beans, but they will need to steam for an extra 2-3 minutes."

This was yummy - much lighter than the traditional green bean casserole. I used minced garlic instead of sliced, but that was the only change. My DH and DS loved this - will definitely make again!
