easy and tasty! I liked the tang of the vinegar, and the slight crustiness of the bread crumbs. I used spinach/chive breadcrumbs from Whole Foods, and Earth Balance for the butter. I also shredded my parmesan cheese. keeper! -
Loved this!! Doubled the recipe, used frozen whole green beans which I steamed for a few minutes, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Was out of fresh Parmesan so used Peccorino-Romano. Incredibly yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
Excellent! I wish I'd found this recipe at the beginning of the garden fresh bean season. The fresh beans were cooked perfectly. I used olive oil and balsamic vinegar like someone else did. The only change I'd make next time is to cut the amount of topping in half. Only thing that confused me was the serving size - I would rate this more like 2-4 servings than 6-8. Thanks again! -
Yummy! Made as directed with my garden fresh beans & it was delish. I followed recipe exactly, with an extra splash of vinegar. I used white balamic vinegar in this recipe, it has a nice crisp flavor. Good thing I doubled the recipe cuz between the two of us there was none left!! Loved the flavor so much I may try shrimp this way!Thanks, Colleen! -
These were by far the best green beans my wife and I have every had! Thanks for posting.

Made this for Thanksgiving. I used shallots instead of the instant onion and I added some sliced roasted red bell pepper. Used balsamic for vinegar and olive oil. Very tasty and well reviewed by the other dinner guests. It was a nice twist on the traditional type of green bean casserole. Definitely a keeper.
