aurora's green bean casserole
(1 RATING)
This is a simple recipe I put together to use up the abundant supply of green beans over the summer. My father-in-law liked it so much that he bought me more beans every chance he got. :D This side dish is very good served piping hot or at room temperature. It also doubles well, so go ahead and make more!

Season with freshly ground salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle additional olive oil over the beans. Toss lightly.
