Found some beautiful green beans at the farmer's market that I couldn't pass up, and this was a very tasty way to show off their goodness. I cooked the green beans in the microwave until crisp-tender, then followed the rest of the recipe. Very enjoyable.

Used fresh green beans, steamed in my vegetable steamer for about 15 minutes and they were perfectly tender, but not mushy. Delicious piquant flavor and something very different for us. Loved it. Thanks Parsley :-)

Yum! A great change from my usual garlic/parmesan/lemon juice green beans. I used frozen beans and served them with ham (#103360) and applesauce.

Made these for Easter dinner and they were a big hit! One problem I had was that the melted butter and dijon didn't mix completely and I wasn't sure if that is how it is supposed to be, but it didn't affect the flavor. Thanks for a keeper recipe!

These were really, really good!I cheated and used frozen green beans, but they still came out great. I did add the brown sugar and will do that again next time. Thanks for sharing!
