  1. Forget the butter ...Add bacon drippins and at least 1 Tbs diced onion
     
  2. Great idea for canned beans - the thyme is the addition to change the flavor to be better. Good recipe. Using the shredded parm made it even better. Added fresh diced garlic.
     
  3. I used a bit more parm cheese than required. (Probably about 3 TBS!) I also sprinkled about 1/2 tsp of thyme because I love it! WOW! My son scarfed these down BEFORE he even finished his chicken fingers. That shows how good this dish was. Definitely going into my Zaar's Stars cookbook! Repeat recipe! Thanks mama!
     
  4. This was an easy quick way to make green beans. The family seemed to like it well enough. It wasn't anything amazing, but a nice change from plain green beans.
     
  5. These are soooooo good! The only change I made was to add garlic powder and lots more parmesan. We loved them! I think next time I'll try some fresh shredded parmesan, but they are wonderful as is. Thanks for a recipe we'll have often!

Tweaks

  1. Yummy! I never would have thought to melt parmesan on green beans. It tasted heavenly! I substituted Italian seasoning for the thyme. Will make again. Thanks for perking up my canned green beans.
     
  2. Fresh thyme & Parmigiano Reggiano, & a little kosher salt to the unsalted beans.
     
  3. I tried this and added one teaspoon of garlic powder instead of thyme. Yummmmmy! Thanks for sharing!
