Yum! A great change from my usual garlic/parmesan/lemon juice green beans. I used frozen beans and served them with ham (#103360) and applesauce.

Found some beautiful green beans at the farmer's market that I couldn't pass up, and this was a very tasty way to show off their goodness. I cooked the green beans in the microwave until crisp-tender, then followed the rest of the recipe. Very enjoyable.

Made these for Easter dinner and they were a big hit! One problem I had was that the melted butter and dijon didn't mix completely and I wasn't sure if that is how it is supposed to be, but it didn't affect the flavor. Thanks for a keeper recipe!
