As fast as you can heat a can of veggies you can have this special side ready to serve! I hate canned green beans yet this is one veggie my dd will eat without complaint. This forced me to find a way to make us both happy. Hope you enjoy this one!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can green beans
1 teaspoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, canned is fine
1 pinch thyme (optional)

Directions

1
Heat entire contents of the canned green beans. Drain.
2
Place butter in the bottom of a serving bowl and add DRAINED green beans, stirring gently until butter is melted.
3
Sprinkle with parmesan (and thyme if using)and serve.
4
NOTE: This would work equally well on fresh or frozen green beans.

Amazing what the addition of a couple of ingredients can make. There is no way that this recipe will feed 4 in my house. Thanks much for posting this super quick and easy fix for canned beans.

These are amazing! It is just unbeleivable how just a few ingredients can make these taste so good! We had them with ham and au gratin potaotes. Not a speck left in the bowl. Now THAT is truly amazing.

A real winner here! My whole family loves these beans. I've made this with canned, frozen & fresh green beans and no matter which it always tastes great. Sometimes I sub Italian seasoning for the Thyme. Thanks!!
