The garlic butter really perked up canned green beans. I will add this recipe to my keeper file as I always have a can or two in the pantry.

Made for I Recommend Tag. I can't say enough good things about this recipe and neither could DH. I didn't have canned green beans because I don't use them since I found some really good frozen baby green beans at Aldi. I cooked the green beans first and then added them to the garlic and butter/oil mixture and tossed them to coat the green beans. Will definitely make these again and again as they are a nice change to plain green beans. Thanks for posting this Lazyme!

This is 5-star worthy because the flavor is fantastic, it is quick and easy to make, and it is a perfect example of the "less is more" school of cooking, which I am trying to do more often. There is nothing better than taking a few simple ingredients and letting the flavors shine, without a lot of fluff. Great side dish, lazyme! I made mine with frozen cut green beans instead of canned. I will try this again next summer, with fresh green beans from the garden (which I will probably semi-cook by steaming first.) Made for Photo Tag.
