what to do with green beans?
Permalink Closed

I have a ton of fresh green beans that are delish but I am sick of eating them plain (I usually steam them or sautee with garlic). Any other fun ideas of things to do with them?


I am very close to making soup, but I'm really not in the mood for that either...

Not the most super-healthy way necessarily, but I like to fry up a couple pieces of bacon (pork or turkey) until it's really crispy and then saute the beans in the leftover drippings.  Then I crumble the bacon up and sprinkle it over the beans.

Can I just say I am SUPER jealous!

I found this on dwlz recipe site - I love green beans & potatoes so it sounded yummy to me

Hungarian-Style Potatoes & Green Beans

Ingredients

1 cup red potatoes, halved, sliced 1/4" thick
1 cup fresh green beans, cut into 2" pieces
1/2 cup onion, quartered and sliced

1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp butter-flavored granules
1/8 tsp paprika

Place the potatoes and green beans in a microwave-safe (2-quart) steamer
basket with bowl underneath. Add a small amount of water. Cover and microwave
