Even though our children are grown, my husband and I remain busy. So we rely on speedy recipes that call for everyday ingredients. This peppery treatment really wakes up green beans. It makes enough that we have leftovers, which is helpful since our schedules sometimes keep us from eating together. —Sue Kuhn, Dublin, Ohio

My husband asks for this quite often. It's especially good with fresh green beans out of the garden.

IF I make this again, I will omit the can of tomatoes. It made the result mushy and didn't look at all like the photo.
