Really good side dish. I used baby portabellas and canned green beans and it worked out just great! Thanks for posting. Made for Rookie Recipe tag game.

I make my green beans using nearly the same recipe all the time. (I didn't know there was a recipe listed here for them.) I do use less butter & a little more chicken broth though. DH & I really love them. It is a nice change from plain old green beans.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I get so tired of the same old steamed beans with salt and pepper! I would like to try this with criminis, the shiitake were a bit too flavorful for DH. They were even better the next day! tanks.

wonderful taste, a little pepper was needed. My husband said he would prefer button mushrooms. Whatever! LOL!

I made this for Christmas. Everyone loved it, and they even fought over who was taking it home. Not that there was much to take home. It was a simple recipe to follow and made my house smell wonderful. I am making this again for New Year's.
