Submitted by joshuainboden

"Kick up your frozen green beans with some lime juice. These go great with pork or any other tuscan style dish. I recently made this with frozen Italian green beans and it turned out wonderfully."

• 1 -2 tablespoon lime juice (Minimum 1tbsp, this is a key ingredient)

2. Prepare and grease a baking pan.

These were amazing! I am calling them my "Margarita Green Beans". LOL! The lime and the salt make it taste a little along that line. I had to broil mine for a couple of minutes at the end of the 25 minutes until they got a little browned. We kept going back and nibbling on them until they were all gone. Thanks for a new way to eat green beans! YUM!
