I truly love seasoned green beans from a can. I always have. Even as a kid – and there is one specific brand that is SO good. Comes in a giant can. Bottom of the shelf in the canned food aisle. Ya can’t miss it. But, it happens to cost me points. And I would prefer to not have my veggies cost me points (even though the canned version is amazing).

Well, I’ve cooked the perfect seasoned green beans you guys! I actually made a double recipe and ate on these for a week straight. The trick is to let the pot sit for as long as possible on a low simmer or even overnight in the fridge. Obviously some may want to cook this for a dinner happening much less time than 24 hours so an hour of low to medium simmering will do!

As always, you know I love a good quick recipe that is sure to make people think you stopped by the nearest BBQ joint. Pro tip, you can wow even the pickiest relative when you told them you made it from scratch!
