Instructions:
-
Microwave Green Beans: Begin by microwaving the green beans according to the package directions. Once done, drain any excess water from the beans.
-
Saute Onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté them until they begin to turn golden brown and release their aroma, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add Bread Crumbs and Seasonings: Next, sprinkle in the bread crumbs and your favorite seasonings into the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine everything evenly. Allow the mixture to sauté for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Incorporate Green Beans: Now, add the microwaved green beans into the skillet with the onion and bread crumb mixture. Gently stir everything together, ensuring that the green beans are evenly coated with the seasoned breadcrumbs.
-
Final Saute: Let the green beans sauté in the skillet for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to further develop and the green beans to absorb the delicious buttery goodness.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the green beans are tender and coated with the savory breadcrumbs, remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the Fabulous Frozen Green Beans to a serving dish and enjoy them hot as a delightful side dish to any meal.
