- 1 tablespoon beef bouillon
- 1⁄4 cup water
directions

- Stir in soy sauce.
- While stirring, add bouillon and water.

Yum! another easy to make, quick and healthy weekday meal addition to our menu. We liked this, I did cut the amount of butter down by a tad more than half, since we are trying to eat healthier and I omitted the water and beef bouillon and used a cup of salt free home-made beef stock. Great taste without the sodium. Please see my rating system: 4 excellent stars for a great family recipe that I will be making again with pleasure. Thanks!

These were the best green beans I have ever eaten..... I will be making these from now on.... No more cans for me..... Thank so much for sharing..... I thought 1/2 cup of butter was a lot but it really was the perfect amount.... I did cut the soy sauce down to about 1/4 cup and I used beef broth and only about 1/8 cup of that.....These had the best flavor.....

Yummy!!! Made this and served it along wih Korean marinated flank steak and red potatoes. Everyone loved it. I cut the recipe in half and used low sodium soy and a little over an 1/8 cup of butter and all I can say is we ate it all. Fantastic1 Forgot to give it the star rating...I would give it more than 5 stars but that's all it will let me do. Thank you Gatorbek!

I live on the coast of Florida, near St. Pete. Great seafood abounds here! Cooking good, family friendly meals is my passion, and my kids are as into it as I am. (My 3 year old cracks a mean egg!)
