Green Beans with Creamy Pistachio Sauce image

I was asked to bring vegetables for a party and wasn't feeling inspired until I remembered Mom served green beans with butter and evaporated milk. I love pistachios, so I added those instead of almonds. Everybody wanted the recipe, and I was really pleased-very little work and lots of happy family and friends! -Loretta Ouellette, Pompano Beach, Florida

This dish was a disaster! The sauce was watery and bland, and the green beans were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Good, but not great. The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I also found that the green beans were a bit overcooked.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the green beans are cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this recipe!

Delicious and easy to make! I used frozen green beans and it still turned out great. The sauce was creamy and flavorful. My kids loved it too.

This dish was a hit with my family! The creamy pistachio sauce was the perfect complement to the crisp green beans. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. Will definitely be making this again.
