    How To Make Sauteed Green Beans With Garlic...

    1. Leave green beans sitting out while for about 30-60 minutes or defrost in microwave for 3-4 minutes
    2. You want the green beans to be just defrosted but not warm or soggy
    3. In a small skillet over medium high heat melt butter along with olive oil
    4. When butter is melted and pan is warmed enough that the green beans will sizzle then add all the green beans
    5. Continue sautéing and stir occasionally for about 2 minutes
    6. Add onion and continuing stirring for another 2 minutes, then add garlic and saute until green beans are heated through and garlic and onion is crispy and starting to brown (but not burned!)

    Pro Tips:

    If your green beans are frozen, you can thaw them overnight in the fridge, or for a few minutes in the microwave if you're in a hurry.

     

    The combination of olive oil and butter will give your green beans their best-tasting results.

     

    The onion can be omitted, if you don't care for it.

     

    These green beans make the perfect side to compliment Slow Cooker Creamy Meatloaf with Baby Dill Potatoes, Slow Cooker Coconut Lime Chicken, Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken, or Slow Cooker Curry Chicken Meatballs.
