Thanksgiving Green Beans image

Momma made these green beans only at Thanksgiving because, at the time, the ingredients were out of her everyday budget. Her original recipe inside her recipe box had five stars drawn on it. I would have to agree! -Marcia Shires, San Antonio, Texas

These green beans were okay. They were a little overcooked and they didn't have much flavor.

These green beans were a little bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

These green beans were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! They were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. The flavor was amazing and they were the perfect side dish to our turkey and mashed potatoes.
