Microwave Green Beans (that everyone loves)

beans

butter

kosher salt (or sea salt), black pepper and garlic powder

PREPARE GREEN BEANS: °Rinse green beans under running water. I use a strainer. °Trim ends of both sides. An easy way is to line up a bunch at a time against the blade of your knife, then chop off ends. Repeat on other side of beans. Place beans in a microwave-safe dish. If you just rinsed them, no need to add more water. If dry, add 1-2 tablespoons water. Cover dish with a microwave-safe lid, an upside down plate or plastic wrap.

MICROWAVE BEANS:  Microwave on High power for 3 1/2 - 6 minutes. Cook time will depend on thickness of beans, power or your microwave and how tender you like them. ° Thin beans like French haricots verts will take 3-4 minutes. ° Regular string beans will take 4-6 minutes. ***Cook for less time to start. Then add more time in 1 minute increments as needed.*** (Times are for a 1200 watt microwave)

FINISH:  Drain excess liquid. Add pat of butter and seasoning. Start with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (if using granulated garlic, use a bit more). Stir, taste and add more if needed. Serve immediately.

I tried your recipe one night when I didn't have enough burner space to make my usual green bean recipe. I was shocked at how delicious it was, and my family now declared this their favorite way to eat green beans. My daughter even went back for seconds!
