I’m made these for Thanksgiving with some sautéed mushrooms - delicious!

I made this the other night for my family and they were very good.  However, I did cook my beans just a little bit longer because we like them super, super soft.

I made green beans tonight with garlic, shallots and bacon grease instead of butter,  minus the bacon.  Wish I had thought of putting bacon with mine. Thanks for the low carb recipe!

Thanks so much Stacy!! Hope you love them!

Hi Virginia! Fresh green beans don't take long to cook when they're in boiling water. I like mine with just a bit of crunch to them. But if you like it super soft, just boil for longer :)

Brandie they look really good!!!  I was going to go out for dinner tonite I just might stay home and make these

Definitely gonna try this at home thanks :D

Yummy. I've been doing green beans similar to these for many years and am known for my beans!
