So easy to make! And I love that this recipe uses frozen green beans - something I always have in my freezer. I used fresh diced onion and sauteed it in the butter before I added the green beans. Next time I might add mushrooms too. A tasty and really easy side dish!Volunteer Field Editor

I made this with fresh french green beans and it was excellent!! Not an oregano fan, so just left it out. I may add a few mushrooms with it next time. Love the flavors in this side dish.
