    This is my favorite way to make green beans. It's simple to make and loaded with flavor.

    How to make Skillet Green Beans:

    Green Beans are a classic go-to side dish for a ton of families! Sometimes though you need to add some good flavor to green beans!

    I love these skillet green beans as I do just that. Add some butter and garlic and this makes these green beans so tasty. I hope you enjoy them!

    If you love green bean recipes like this you have to try these Garlic Asian Green Beans and my favorite Green Bean Casserole.

    Ingredients:

    • Green Beans (I used frozen extra fine green beans for this recipe)
    • Unsalted Butter
    • Garlic (minced)
    • Salt

    Directions:

    Step One: If using frozen green beans lay out to thaw. If using fresh green beans, rinse off and let dry.

    Step Two: In a skillet melt butter. Add minced garlic then green beans. Cook until tender with a slight crisp. Sprinkle with salt once cooked.

    What type of green bean should I use:

    For this recipe I used and extra fine frozen green bean that I found at Aldi. You can use a fresh green beans as well. To get the crunch you would want to stay away from a canned green bean.
