- This is wonderful. I've made it several times. We took it to a pot luck last night and it was eaten up. A commercial can of green beans is six pounds.
- Easy and tasty green beans! I cut the recipe down to 2 servings and really enjoyed this easy way to dress up canned beans - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2010 Event (recommended by lazyme)
- Yummers! I can't believe that these haven't been reviewed before now. I cut the servings back to 1 can of beans and adjusted the rest of the ingredients accordingly. Great side dish! Thanks for sharing. Made for Bargain Basement Tag.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a single mom of 2 boys (ages 15 & 23). I'm also an RN working in homecare. My favorite recipes are 1 pot dishes that are quick, although I don't mind spending extra time on weekends for those outstanding dishes.
My biggest problem is that I'm one of those people who has a hard time cooking small. Even though there's only 2 of us (my oldest is away in the Navy), I still cook as though I'm cooking for 6. My family and friends love this and come by with their own casserole dish to load up and take home.
I just started writing down my recipes... from much coersion from family & friends. I've always been a dump cook... adding and deleting items, depending on what's on hand.
