Sometimes you need a side dish that wows the socks off people, but doesn’t take much time and effort to pull off. OK, so maybe you need that ALL of the time! Well, these Creamy Sweet Green Beans are just the ticket!
I’ll be completely honest here – I don’t like beans. No beans of any size, shape, or color. They all taste weird and feel weird in my mouth (yes, I said “feel”). {Blame it on my sensory issues.} So, the very fact that I like these beans is a testament to their yumminess!
I make these for holidays and sometimes just because! I’ve included some of the quick tips I use to make this dish even faster when I don’t have a lot of time to spare. And you can definitely use frozen green beans in the place of cans. Enjoy!
