"For me, the most time-consuming part of preparing this side is picking the green beans in the garden," says Jeanne Bennett of North Richland Hills, Texas. "My family loves their fresh taste, and I love that they're fast to fix!"

1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring beans and water to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender; drain. Add the butter, soy sauce and sesame seeds; toss to coat.

Simple and delicious!!! I used frozen whole green beans for convenience but I'll try them with fresh green beans next time. My family really enjoyed them!!
