Green Beans, Cream Style

The original of this recipe comes from the 1972 THE ideals FAMILY COOKBOOK. This is a nice way to jazz up an otherwise bland vegetable! If NICE fresh green beans aren't available, use packaged frozen ones. [NOTE: The ingredients were changed on 23 Apr 07 to reflect suggestions made by reviewers.]
