This side dish is perfect for the holidays AND every day after!!
Just to to flavor profile I replace some of the butter with fresh bacon grease. Then once blistered top with crispy crumbled bacon. Have also done a mix of green beans and asparagus.
Hi, Lexi! This recipe looks great! Would I need to do anything differently if I were using frozen green beans? Costco sells nice organic French green beans that are so convenient to have on hand when green beans are out of season. Thanks for any input!
That will work!
Last night was my first time to use this recipe and my husband declared these green beans his favorite. So quick and easy. Thanks, Lexi!
