I believe this may be one of the best green bean recipes I've had lately! We will definitely make it again. Even the non-green bean eaters ate this recipe. Thanks for sharing! Made for CQ 2017 for the Smok'in Chefs.

Easy, quick dish with ingredients I already had on hand. I loved this preparation for green beans. I did use onion powder instead of fresh onion. It was good but next time I'll use fresh onion. The lemon juice really adds to the flavor. Thanks for posting. This is definitely a keeper. Made for ZWT6.

I had to use sweet potato instead of the carrot, but they do taste quite similar, so I don't think this makes such a great difference. Wonderful easy, quick and tasty green bean dish - I love green beans, and this definitely is a way I will eat them again! Thanks for posting.
