you can eat tons of them (like 3 cups) and not even break 100 calories! :)

    I love green beans because they are versatile!!!

    Boiled with bacon, sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper and onion slivers..........

    Tossing in Olive Oil and baking until crispy..............

    Sauteed with garlic, olive oil and then sprinkled with parmesan cheese...............

    SAME here! And when I want something that feels really unhealthy, I go for green beans, a slice of turkey bacon and about a half an onion. Then it tastes like how my Meemaw made 'em! :happy:

    I love green beans too! The green giant steamers with whole green beans are great. No sauces just green beans. Perfect for me because no one else in my house will eat them. Almost as good as fresh & steamed.

    I LOVE them as well. I always put in a couple pieces of turkey bacon and a cube of beef broth and delicious!! I had some for lunch today! My hubby never ate them until we were married!

    Haha, that's the only way I eat vegetables.. is from cans. Except my sweet potatoes.
    I do get the no-salt-added ones, though. Better than nothin!

    I don't like canned green beans either. I picked fresh ones last year and ate them until they ran out and then bought frozen green beans from the grocery.
