Dh made this as his side dish to take to the IL's Thanksgiving lunch. Everyone loved it! It was something different, which is always nice. It honestly didn't take as long as I thought it would to throw together. We'll definitely make it again. The only problem was that we had to use frozen green beans instead of fresh, so they came out a little soggier than usual. Great taste, though!
