I ate a big can of green beans yesterday.

[LuckyCharms]

And I'm going to eat another can today.

Threw in some butter when heating them up. Square cut ends, not french style.

Freakin' things are delicious.

I'll probably have a can a day for the next year or so.

It's like when I first had an eggroll.

I liked it so much, that I ate at least one a day for the next few years.

[The Blue Flower]

1. I drain them and toss them in ranch dressing, then eat them cold

Sue me.

[LuckyCharms]

2. Thanks!

That's sounds delicious...I'm going to try it. I like them cold sometimes as well.

[Iggo]

15. Cold right out of the can works, too.

[montanacowboy]

3. OMG

I thought I was the only one!! I had a can last night and I like them cold with salt. My sister practically gags when I eat them, but boy, they are freaking good!

[LuckyCharms]

4. I never realized how much I like them...

until recently.

I'll tell you one thing...they negated the constipating effect of all the cheese I ate yesterday!

[Historic NY]

5. Add some nuts...

[LuckyCharms]

6. Thanks, I will try it!

I can't do it for a few weeks though, because I have a temporary crown and a very sore gum around it.

What kind of nuts?

[IcyPeas]

23. Green beans are often mixed with

Slivered almonds.

WARNING: since you just had dental work... I broke 2 teeth eating whole almonds, but the slivered ones are easier to chew.

[Ohiogal]

7. My favorite brand is Del Monte.

[LuckyCharms]

9. That's the brand I got.

[Ohiogal]

10. It's funny

I loathe green bean casserole ....with the mushroom soup, etc.

But I think the plain canned green beans are really pretty good!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

8. I had a dear friend, a sweet gal from Charlotte....

who was a great cook and she would simmer canned green beans with plenty of butter for probably over an hour, with salt to taste. It was like the longer she simmered them, the better the taste. I could eat a plate full.

I was raised on fresh garden Southern country cooking and haven't figured out the logic of her success with green beans yet. It just works, but seems to work better with a good brand like Del Monte. I suppose the butter awakens the flavor.

Now you got me craving green beans, sautéed squash and mashed potatoes.......

That's how I'm triggered but never, never by Republicans.....

[dewsgirl]

29. Me too, I had to add them to my grocery list.

[IcyPeas]

11. grean bean fritters are delish

[smirkymonkey]

18. That looks really good!

I wish I had some right now. I love vegetable dishes.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

12. My mom says she used to catch me sneaking brussel sprouts out of the freezer, & I still

love them: hot, cold (not frozen anymore), steamed, raw, sauteed, w/ or w/o butter. There's just something about those little cabbages, and I don't really have to worry about having to share them too much.

I'm totally going to try green beans - square cut ends. - thanks.

[Croney]

13. Green beans, and beets.

I'm the only one at my house who likes beets, so I'll open a can and eat them cold. Or mixed with the green beans.

[lunasun]

27. Great combo canned beets and green beans cold 😋 I agree

[SouthernIrish]

14. Try them with beef bouillon in the water. Delicious

[badhair77]

16. I love green beans. Sometimes I sautee them in butter. Sometimes just steamed with

a bit of salt. Never mushy. I’m seeing all kinds of new ideas here.

[Srkdqltr]

17. Italian green beans also. Yummy

[smirkymonkey]

19. Pole beans?

We used to grow them in our garden and my dad would cook them w/ garlic and potato. They were delicious! You can't find them in grocery stores but they have such a different flavor than regular green beans. They are so hearty you could almost make a main dish out of them.

[Maine-i-acs]

20. Try in a skillet with rice and beef

15 min simmer for all to be done.
water from the can is enough for the rice

[lillypaddle]

21. Dude ...

[Piasladic]

22. Sodium and Sucrose

When I was a kid, I guess i was a bit weird. Along with my occasional NowOrLaters, I got a big can of some peas or green beans. Once, I just got the can. The clerk thought I was impoverished, and asked if I had a home... Nice of him to ask, and I sort of wish I'd taken him on his offer.

Anyway, I now realize it was the salt and sugar combined that made it taste sooo good. Kids don't know what they're missing. Now, I just buy the stuff raw at the grocery, and while it isn't the crack of artificial sugar and salt, it's pretty tasty.

24. chop a slice or two of bacon and add to canned or other over-cooked green beans

or just a teaspoon of bacon grease.

[handmade34]

25. my favorite

but usually frozen and NOT French style... I put olive oil and seasoned salt on them

[samnsara]

26. .... :( ....

.....the worse food ever except when they are pickled and surrounded by vodka salt and tomato juice

[dewsgirl]

28. I add a little bit of garlic and parmesan cheese, with real butter. I love

green beans.

[Butterflylady]

30. I love canned green beans

The frozen not so much.

[empedocles]

31. My almost 4 granddaughter will eat 4 0r 5 green beans, to get strong

by eating green vegetables, before challenging me to still another sumo pillow fight - which she usually wins, though not easily.

[Yes, she does sometimes lose those sumo pillow fights when she eats 'junky'].

[ms liberty]

32. Yes, canned green beans are the best.

Not home canned, which here in the south means that when you heat t HD em, you gave limp looking, mushy pot of something that looks like it was slow cooked for hours and would stick to any wall you threw it at. Those are nasty, and I refuse to eat them. But green beans out of the can are delicious! Regular and french style. Heat em up, butter, salt and pepper to taste. The beans have some body to them and a crispness. I always get the no salt added; to me they taste more fresh, and I'd rather season it myself.

[mbusby]

33. Cajun for me....

Red beans and rice, butter beans and corn bread. Either with shrimp gumbo, crawfish etoufee and/or fried alligator strips.

[magicarpet]

34. Middle Eastern for me...

Sandwich bag of green beans - washed and cut, then cut beans in thirds - then steam beans to half cooked.

Two medium size onions cut in cube pieces about the size of a laptop key board letter key - cook in a fry pan until barely soft - then add to 1/2 cooked beans.

Garlic - five or six good sized cloves - mash with garlic masher or cut in thin slivers - add to green beans and onions.

A can of stewed tomatoes add to green bean pot - (used a Dutch oven pot with a good lid).

Finally cook 2 or 3 lamb shoulder chops in a fry pan - cut lamb into cubes - throw the round bone into the pot too for the marrow.

Add pepper, salt, garlic powder, (cayenne pepper-optional) - to your favor/taste

Cook on low heat 1/2 hr.

=================

Good with garlic bread or Syrian pocket bread and humus.

Few cups of Red wine.

35. I like Alan's brand

Not as good as from the garden and stringing them on the front porch, but a lot less work.

[Marthe48]

36. Italian green beans roasted

with a little olive oil and salt. I've been roasting almost all of my veggies lately. I like the flavor and texture.

[Coventina]

37. And here I thought I was the only one!

Canned green beans are the only way I can really enjoy them.

I really dislike the fresh or frozen. Don't know why, but there it is!

(And I also hate green bean casserole!)

[Major Nikon]

38. I feel much the same way about whiskey

[LuckyCharms]

39. You put butter in your whiskey?

Whiskey makes you poop better?

[Major Nikon]

40. If you think about it, whiskey is nothing more than concentrated bread

I’m not sure it makes you poop better, although the colors are quite interesting sometimes
