I think these are the best green beans I have ever made. I did not have fresh green beans, so I bought a package of green and yellow green beans and used those. The caramelized onions and the balsamic vinegar, along with the brown sugar and butter really were a great combination. They only took me about 20 minutes to cook and I served them with Recipe 157418 (Honey Pecan Pork Chops), a green salad and garlic bread. What a wonderful side dish and I will be making this dish again and again.
