How should I cook my green beans?

[.betty.white.]

I have dinner guest set to arrive around 7 (in about an hour).  I've made lasagna from scratch and now just need to figure out how to prepare the green beans...  Suggestions?

[Mrs.Winchester]

I would just steam them with a little bit of seasoning. Not everyone likes bacon and butter added to fresh vegetables.

SIL melts butter then throws in bread crumbs and stirs till the crumbs are browned. Then she pours it iver steamed green beans. Yum!

Bacon onion and garlic. I cook mine in broth.

[KblazeMomOf2]

1 lb baco., chopped
1 onion, chopped
4-5 garlic.cloves minced
Toss in pan fry till bacon is crisp

drain all but about 1tb grease

Add 4 cans drained green beans. Salt n.pepper to taste

[MawMawKelton]

I use canned green beans (don't have fresh right now) and I drain them and put in big pot, add water  about half way, throw in 2 or 3 slices of raw bacon, salt and pepper and some little potatoes.

Boil for half hour and let simmer. Delish !  

The water boils out and it has great bacon and flavor and the taters are delish too !

 I do 450 for 15-20 mins depending on if you like some burnt edges which we allll do here.  I usually use garlic powder because my minced usually burns a bit.

What temp, or should I broil?  How long?  :)

Quoting taKENheart:

 I like to roast them...olive oil, s&p, and garlic. You have a yummy dinner going on ;)

 the #1 recipe for roasted green beans on my fave site says to go with 400degrees but I always do 450.

 You are busy cooking so I hope you saw my last reply...I would hate if your green beans burnt up.  I go by my oven so 450 works for ME.  Eeks...now I'm nervous.

Here is the recipe from my fave site....if you need a reference point.

This. I also add a little lemon when I steam

Quoting KatherineM:

I steam mine with a little fresh garlic and salt and pepper they always turn out good

[Pink.Frosting]

I use lots of butter and ham base.  The ham base makes them amazing!
