Submitted by Golden Sunflower

"These are easy and made in one skillet - topped with "fresh" toasted bread crumbs. To make fresh bread crumbs - process 2 slices of hearty white sandwich bread in a food processor. Delicious!"

I really don't like green beans, so these were a palatable way to eat them. Not sure if I would make them again--it was a lot of work for a vegetable dish, and the cheese, which made it taste good, also makes it much higher in fat and calories than veggies should be...
