My mom is not a huge fan of green beans, but when she tasted these, she went back for another round. That’s really saying something. These are the easiest thing to make because you don’t have to do a lot of work and once you cover them with a lid to cook down, you don’t have to take any other steps. Set it and forget it. The lazy cook in me loves this method. They are a little spicy, not over the top, but enough to wake your tastebuds up. I love heat, but again, you can adjust this to your liking. These green beans cook quickly, so you can have a vegetable to accompany your main dish on the table, ready in no time. Everybody wins with this recipe. I hope you enjoy!
