Ingredients
- Butter. I recommend unsalted butter so you can have more control on the amount of salt.
- Green beans. You want to pre-cook the green beans for a few minutes before sauteing so they will cook and saute to perfection!
- Garlic. Stick to garlic cloves for this recipe. Garlic is one of the main ingredients so please don’t use powder or flakes.
HAPPY COOKING!! I hope you’ll love this easy side dish recipe as much as I do!
