German-Style Green Beans image

GRANDMOTHER often prepared her fresh green beans this way, and we much preferred them to plain buttered beans. This recipe goes back to before the 1920s and was a favorite dish of our family when I was growing up. -Lois Gelzer, Standish, Maine

This recipe is the worst. The green beans were like rubber and the sauce was like glue.

This recipe is a disaster. The green beans were burned and the sauce was inedible.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my green beans turned out terrible. They were slimy and the sauce was curdled.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The green beans were a little bland and the sauce was a little too thick.

The green beans were a little overcooked for my taste. I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These green beans were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I would reduce the amount of oil next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the green beans turned out great. They were a little bland for my taste, so I added some salt and pepper to taste.
