My mother never measured anything. When asked, it was always a dob of this some of that. She even used a coffee cup as a measuring cup.

These creamed green beans were a hit at my last dinner party! Everyone loved them. They're so easy to make and they look really elegant on a plate. I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm not a big fan of green beans, but I actually really enjoyed these. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the green beans were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making these again!

These creamed green beans are a family favorite! We make them all the time, especially during the holidays. They're so easy to make and they always turn out delicious. I highly recommend this recipe!

Not a fan. The sauce was bland and the green beans were overcooked. I won't be making this recipe again.

These were great! I used fresh green beans from my garden and they were so flavorful. I also added a little bit of garlic and onion powder to the sauce, which gave it a nice extra depth of flavor. Will definitely be making these again!

The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, but the green beans themselves were cooked perfectly. I think next time I'll try using a different type of milk, maybe almond or oat milk, to see if that makes a difference.

These green beans were so easy to make and they turned out so delicious! I served them with roasted chicken and mashed potatoes, and it was a hit with the whole family. Will definitely be adding this recipe to my regular rotation.

Not bad! I'm not usually a fan of green beans, but this recipe was pretty good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the green beans were cooked just right. I might add some extra spices next time to give it a bit more kick.

These creamed green beans were an absolute delight! The creamy sauce was rich and flavorful, and the green beans retained their crispness perfectly. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. Will definitely be making this again!
