Sauteed Green Beans

I just discovered my new favorite way to have green beans fresh from the garden. In the past, bacon or ham would always accompany my garden beans and they would cook forever in a crock pot. The long cook time removes just about anything healthy a green bean has going for it. Add the ham or bacon and it should no longer be considered a vegetable!

Sauteed Green Beans
1 lb fresh green beans
1 Tbsp olive oil
Garlic powder & onion powder to taste

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add beans and boil for 3 minutes. Drain. Add beans to olive oil and seasoning in skillet. Saute until they start to turn golden brown.

YuMmY! Green beans are very low in calories and super high in many nutrients and minerals. This short cook time keeps them intact. They turn out tender crisp and delicious!
