Buttery Green Beans

BUTTERY GREEN BEANS
​
Ingredients:

12 oz. fresh green beans
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter

Directions:

Rinse green beans.
Boil in salted water until slightly soft. *
Drain well.
Add butter to pot.  Heat stove on a low setting.
Mix the green beans with butter and salt.

Serves 2 -3
​
*Note:  I check the green beans before draining.  After boiling for 5 to 7 minutes, I remove a green bean, dry it, and break it in half.  If it breaks easily, the beans are ready to drain.  If they seem on the verge of being too soft, I quickly throw them into the colander to drain and run them under cold water.  This prevents them from continuing to cook.
