- These were decent. The only problem I had it they didn't seem to have enough flavor or be salty enough. Not sure what I did wrong but I'll have to try again.
- Got a thumbs up from the entire crew. Will be using this recipe again.
- Great new way for me to serve green beans and I am thrilled. The kids really loved them, so that's a plus too!
- Fantastic fresh veggie dish! Loved the taste of the shallots with the beans and parmesan. I cooked these for 10 minutes rather than 15 as we like our green beans al dente.
- Wonderful green beans! I made them exactly as the recipe stated. Easy and very tasty. These will go into my "fix often" file. Thanks LEEZAH4!!!

- I've been thinking about these beans since we ate them the other night. We picked up some gorgeous beans at Pike's market and this was the winning recipe. I doubled the recipe, used butter instead of margarine (I used a bit less than double of this ingredient) and after the beans were cooked to our liking I removed them from the liquid and boiled it down until it became a nice sauce and poured it back over the beans, then sprinkling with the parmesan cheese and a few cranks of fresh ground pepper. My only change for next time would be adding more shallots - they are so tasty. All ages went gaga for these beans. It's a keeper.
