Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen whole green beans
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  •  
    1
    Cook green beans as directed on bag to desired doneness--except do not season to taste; drain.
  •  
    2
    Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is tender.
  •  
    3
    Pour garlic butter over cooked green beans; stir to coat. Sprinkle with cheese; toss gently.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Garlic can burn quickly, and give a harsh, disagreeable flavor. To prevent garlic from burning, cook it briefly over medium-low heat.
  • tip 2
    A 1-pound bag of frozen cut green beans can be used in place of the whole green beans.
  • tip 3
    Fresh Parmesan cheese can be substituted for the grated Parmesan. Sprinkle additional cheese on the dish as a garnish.
