Green Beans With Balsamic Vinegar
"This is a recipe I saved from Ediets. I have found that I prefer a little sea salt, fresh ground pepper and splenda mixed with the sauce, but the original recipe did not call for it. I hope you enjoy!"

Canned green beans are my go to when I don't have access to a fresh vegetable. Usually about once a week. With various additives, they often come out better tasting than if I'd used fresh or frozen. I'd say, go for it. I do have some frozen in the freezer, and this recipe sounds easy and good. Will give it a try with Sunday dinner. -
Can you use canned green beans for this recipe

I made this as is (except for scaling back on the oil to about 1/2 tsp) with frozen beans. I thought it was great! It gave a nice tangy flavour the the beans, while being fairly subtle. I do think the additions of the salt, pepper and splenda would have been great too..I may try this next time! Thanks Bobtail! -

We did enjoy these beans, Bobtail! Had to scale back a little on the amounts, as it was just my Husband and I for dinner. I added a bit of salt and pepper as you suggested and might even try the sugar idea next time. :)
