I never liked green beans until I tried this recipe. The beans, onion and chopped pecans are coated in a delicious orange-mustard sauce. Now I make it for my family on a regular basis. -Donna Buckley, Western Springs, Illinois

Very easy to make! This works well with frozen green beans too. The orange and nut flavor is amazing with the beans!

We made ours with a sweet onion since I didn't have a red onion on hand. Quite good. Will make again.
