Skillet Green Beans

Posted on by traci

I’m all about easy veggie side dishes.  We usually microwave the veggies for about 4 minutes, add a little bit of butter and salt, and then microwave for another minute to melt the butter.

That method gets old, though.  So I came up with an easy skillet green bean recipe using onions and bacon.  When my mother-in-law makes green beans for our Sunday dinner, she boils the bacon with the green beans.  The Wee One wants to eat those bacon pieces.  He can, but they don’t have the best flavor or texture.  When I made this skillet green bean recipe, he could eat the bacon with his green beans.  Win-win!

Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole – Countdown to Thanksgiving

Posted on by traci
Countdown to Thanksgiving

Green bean casserole is a frequent dish on many peoples’ Thanksgiving tables.  I’ve changed it by using frozen green beans instead of canned green beans.  So it has more of a fresh taste to it.

I will cook it up in my casserole crock pot on Thanksgiving Day.  Right before dinner, I’m going to place the crock in the oven to brown up the French onions.
