  • “These beans are just about perfect with everything you put them with. I’ve made them with an apricot chicken and fried catfish now and their flavors match great. I use frozen pearl onions in a cream sauce but everything else I leave the same. I would recommend this dish to anyone! Thanks for posting.”

  • “Terrific! I thought these were wonderful! I used fresh beans and half a fresh chopped onion. Also, I used water in place of broth (I added some salt and a few herbs to try to make up for it…) I skipped the breadcrumbs like another reviewer suggested and didn’t think it lacked anything. This was really easy and it went together so fast. I think I have finally found a recipe that makes me like fresh green beans.”

  • “So easy and so good, Thanks Carla for a recipe I used at our Thanksgiving table, just that little something special to serve on a holiday.I did use frozen green beans, but they where good and don’t think I missed anything in the final outcome.Everyone at the table enjoyed these, I’ll certainly be making them again.”

  • “These make a nice and healthy way to prepare green beans.I used butter in place of the margarine and did sprinkle lightly with salt before serving.I like the addition of the almonds but think I would leave off the bread crumbs next time around.The bread crumbs were my Seasoned Breadcrumb Mix.”
