Garlicky Green Beans

This is one yummy green bean dish! When green beans are cooked, flavored and season with garlic, you can NEVER go wrong and I promise you that there won’t be any leftovers! My kids DEVOUR THESE! We love this dish as a side to steak and chicken but I also serve it as an after school snack.

It’s that good.
