The original of this recipe comes from the 1972 THE ideals FAMILY COOKBOOK. This is a nice way to jazz up an otherwise bland vegetable! If NICE fresh green beans aren't available, use packaged frozen ones. [NOTE: The ingredients were changed on 23 Apr 07 to reflect suggestions made by reviewers.]

YUM! So creaamy, good. This was easy, quick and tasted great! I added about 1/2 tsp of granulated garlic powder because I think garlic makes everything better. Never in a million years would I have thought to put cream cheese with green beans but it was so good. I will be making this regularly from now on. Made for PRMR tag game.

    Easy and quick green bean recipe that we enjoyed. I also used canned green beans instead of fresh. Let the cream cheese soften in my pan than whisked in the milk and seasonings. I used cut green beans but I think I would prefer to use french style next time. Thank you Syd for posting! Made and reviewed for the Vegetarian Forum's Recipe Swap.

    I added evaporated milk to the cream cheese, the celery seeds, a little garlic,white pepper and some onion salt. Not much. The sauce was too thick with just 1 tblsp milk. No plain salt. It was nice.

    Very good change from the usual white sauce I usually do. On the advice of others I added an extra 1/4 cup milk, just enough to thin a bit more. I did use regular cream cheese and like what the celery seeds did to the all-over taste. I'll be doing this again. No pic, sorry, my battery needed charging.
