Delicious!! This is such a wonderful way to fix green beans. It contains all of the things that we love: green beans, garlic, and mushrooms...yum!! I did add a couple of extra cloves of garlic and cooked my beans about 15 minutes. My family loved this and gave it 2-thumbs up. Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe...it is definitely a keeper! *Made for 2009 Spring PAC*

OK, my only complaint was that 2 1/2 lbs of beans is a lot to trim! LOL My beans were a little too crisp. Next time I would cook them longer (this time I only did 8 min.). Also, I used 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp onion salt, because I discovered I was out of onion powder after I had added the salt. I still didn't find them too salty. I served this with recipe #82078.

I love this recipe. I was just thinking about posting it myself as I was searching through my old TOH magazines looking for this particular recipe. This is my favorite way to prepare green beans.
