Growing up, fresh green beans were never something that was served in our house. My parents tried to push canned green beans on us many times, butit wasn’t a favorite vegetable of mine. To this day, I’m still not the biggest fan of canned cut green beans, however, I do like canned french style green beans. Of course, put either into a green bean casserole and I won’t turn it down. 🙂
As an adult, I’ve cooked with fresh green beans many, many times. While I’ll still admit that they aren’t my favorite vegetable, I find them far superior to their canned versions. Nowadays, I always make our Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving with fresh green beans and I also buy them throughout the year as a green bean side dish for dinner.

Fresh green beans and canned green beans have a totally different taste and texture to me. I like to eat both but definitely prefer the crunch of fresh beans.
Thanks for linking up at the #HomeMattersParty – Hope to see you back again this Friday!Reply

Great recipe. I have made this using snow peas instead of green beans, and it’s always a hit. Quick, simple and delicious. Thanks for sharing.
