Fresh Green Beans

When I was little I loved green bean casserole (with the mozzarella cheese and onion rings on top...yum!).  I used to ask for my mom to make it on birthday along with strawberry pretzel jello.  Sometime in the past 15 years I have also learned to appreciate and enjoy fresh green beans. In addition to the taste, there is something about washing and snapping the green beans that I enjoy (weird I know).   This is the way my mom always makes them; They are delicious.

Fresh Green Beans with Mushrooms
  • green beans
  • mushrooms
  • garlic
  • onion
  • butter
  • salt and pepper
  • optional: add some bacon for more yummy goodness (and less healthiness)
  1. Wash and snap beans. 
  2. Put beans in boiling water for approximately 20 minutes
  3. In the meantime saute mushrooms, onion, garlic,salt and pepper in a skillet.
  4. Drain water and mix the beans and mushrooms together.
Even my husband who 2 months ago claimed he didn't like green beans, looks forward to eating them now.
