What a nice way to prepare green beans. I did cut back the amount of vinegar, as it is not a favorite of my household. Enjoyed the onion,garlic and cheese.

This was a nice change for green beans. I used a little red wine vinegar, not a full 1/4 cup though. I didn't want it to be too vinegary for the kids. All the kids ate them. Thanks for posting this recipe.

yum! I made this with the last bunch of summer's crop green beans, I increased the garlic way up and added in crushed chili flakes, loved this thanks for sharing Jackie!

This was a wonderful recipe to perk up green beans. I did use canned cut green beans. I had bought the shredded parmesan cheese, but asked DD to add the 6 tablespoons of the cheese and she used the grated/canned kind. This didn't melt well, but it still tasted delicious, despite not looking as appealling. Made for potluck tag. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
