I was going to post a recipe for Herbed Green Beans, but yours is so similar that I will review yours instead... I use one pound of thawed frozen green beans, then melt 3 T butter and proceed with step 4. I usually use 1/4 c. of onion, which reduces carbs, and the dried herbs. My version came from 500 Low Carb Recipes by Dana Carpender.

These were just okay for us. It definetly had a fresh taste to it, but too much onion for us. I might or might not make this again.

We loved this, great way to jazz up the humble green bean. Wonderful flavours. I served this with prime rib. Thanks for sharing.

These beans are a refreshing change of pace!!! I used frozen (no nice looking fresh at the store when I went)beans and cooked them until JUST tender. I then drained them and sauteed the celery, onions and herbs until the onion was transparent. I them added the beans again and heated until warm! This will be served often here, the flavor is fresh and unique..we truly enjoyed them.
