Soft Green Beans

Amazing! I made these and served with a good steak. I actually found these to be more enjoyable than the steak. The only change is that I blended the onion, garlic broth mixture before simmering. Thank you for the recipe.

Perfect way to cook up my garden-fresh turkey craw string beans! I used chopped fresh sriracha cayenne peppers from the garden instead of crushed red pepper, and a heavy dose of garlic powder. If I would've used fresh garlic, I would've chopped it very finely. I also used beef bouillon. Someone could easily make it vegan by using vegetable broth. The gist of the recipe is adaptable and perfect. I LOVED the idea and result of boiling down the remaining liquid into a reduction to top off the beans. It was perfect. The cooking times were spot on - the beans still had some bite, but were much more tender - a great way to cook beans that are starting to get a little mature or tough. My fiance appreciated it very much and liked that it was a change from the usual ham or bacon style of simmering green beans. He said this tasted very much like a "Cracker Barrel" restaurant style of southern veggies. We will be using this recipe a lot!

My family (possibly just my husband) likes his green beans on the softer side. I've been roasting them in the oven but often they are between crunchy to hard. I followed this recipe exactly and we really enjoyed them. I could have polished off the bowl! Plus, easy to make.

I am in the camp of liking my green beans really cooked, so this one is great for me.
