It's scary how good and how easy these green beans are! They are amazing! So much flavor without any complicated or crazy ingredients. I highly recommend.

We had beans from the farmer's market, not a full pound but I made as directed, regardless. The only change I made was to add extra garlic, which is standard for my family. I also left the parsley on the table for everyone to sprinkle on their beans, as DD didn't want any on hers. My only suggestion is to keep an eye on the beans, mine cooked in less than 30 minutes and started to stick because there wasn't any liquid left. Served as a side to some grilled chicken.

These green beans are so good. Wonderful taste from the lemon-pepper seasoning and garlic. I omitted the parsley. I used butter. Thanks breezermom :) Made for Photo tag game
