Savory String Beans image

I love making this dish when I can pick the beans right out of the garden and put them into the pot. The fresh taste is unbeatable. I've also made it with beans purchased at the store. Either way, you'll find this recipe a winner. There's no need for any extra seasonings at the table. -Ina Reed, Kingman, Arizona

Not my favorite. I wasn't a big fan of this dish. The string beans were too crunchy and the sauce was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to others.
