Ingredients

4 cups frozen whole green beans
2 tablespoons butter
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1

Cook green beans as directed on bag to desired doneness--except do not season to taste; drain.
2

Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is tender.
3

Pour garlic butter over cooked green beans; stir to coat. Sprinkle with cheese; toss gently.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Garlic can burn quickly, and give a harsh, disagreeable flavor. To prevent garlic from burning, cook it briefly over medium-low heat.
tip 2
A 1-pound bag of frozen cut green beans can be used in place of the whole green beans.
tip 3
Fresh Parmesan cheese can be substituted for the grated Parmesan. Sprinkle additional cheese on the dish as a garnish.
