Easy Green Beans



These beans replaced our corn on the cob for a grilled summer veggie, but can also be prepared on a stove top during colder months.

4 cups frozen cut green beans*
1 Tbs dried chopped onions
2 Tbs light margarine or butter
salt and pepper to taste

To Grill:
Divide ingredients evenly into 4 sheets of aluminum foil. Fold up each sheet and throw on the grill on medium-low heat, turning every 5 minutes, until beans are steaming and margarine is melted.

On the stove:
Heat frying pan to medium. Add in margarine and onions. Melt margarine and then add beans and salt and pepper, stirring occasionally until beans are steaming.

Makes 4 servings.

* Canned green beans can also be used. Drain 2 cans and prepare as instructed, with only 1 Tbs margarine.
