    Just like all the other reviews, I think these are great. I also used the precooked bacon pieces to save time, and added some fresh mushrooms. Who would think that canned green beans could taste so good. Thanks for sharing.

    These were great!!!!! I made this on easter as a side dish. I was afraid of the long cooking time, and that the green beans would mush up, but it didn't happen! Very good, I think I added a little too much salt though.

    will not make green beans anyother way. I use frozen green beans and just add the amount of water called for on the back of the package instead of canned kind.

    These are just the BEST ever! I followed the directions except I used my crockpot and pre-cooked bacon bits (for salads) to save time and pots to wash. Started it at noon and by dinner, they were ready. People were scarfing 'em up! Next time, I'll make 'em on the stovetop but... since I had a crowd here visiting, the crockpot thing worked out really well. Wouldn't change a thing about this recipe... very tasty!
