Green bean casserole

1 bag frozen (16-20 oz) of green beans





Mix cans together and add black peppers, and other seasoning as desired.





Bake in oven 350 for 25 mins








Italian Green Bean Chicken





2 tablespoons olive oil


3 cloves garlic, chopped


1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed


2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes


2 tablespoons minced fresh basil


1 pound fresh green beans - rinsed, trimmed and steamed





Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and saute until aromatic oils are released, then add chicken and cook through until no longer pink.


Stir in tomatoes and basil and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes. Finally, stir in steamed beans and serve
I make potato salad with green beans. Cook the green beans just a little bit so they are still a little crunchy. I usually do it in the microwave. Then boil small red potatoes and when they are done cut then in half or quarters depending on how bid they are. Put the green beans and potatoes in a bowl together and add:





Feta cheese


Red onion sliced


Greek salad dressing (any brand is fine)





This is best if is sits in the fridge overnight before you eat it. This is meant to be served cold and it is good at a barbecue or potluck because most people have never had it before. I usually leave the green beans whole or just broken in half when I make this.
I love new potatoes(red) in my green beans!!


Just add the potatoes to your green beans and season the way you like and cook. ENJOY!
